Hiking Advice
In this section I'll be discussing hiking tips. These are mostly safety tips, and maybe a little about how to make hiking more enjoyable.
​
-
In the mountains in the summer you need to wear sunscreen. This is one of my most important hiking tips.
-
Get high SPF sunscreen, I think at least 50 SPF​
-
Wear a hat
-
Wear something to cover your arms and calves or make sure to lather on the sunscreen
-
-
You can refill your water bottle anywhere that there isn't a sign with a crossed out faucet. Otherwise all water from public fountains and the like is potable
-
Try to look up a panorama map or grab a trail map before heading for a hike
-
Check the weather before hiking. I recommend using the following;
-
Mounta Weather Forecast​
-
MeteoSwiss
-
MeteoBlue
-
-
Hiking up through the treeline is, in my opinion, not worth the time. Just get a cable car and hike between the tops of the mountains where the views are really good
