What do I need to take with me? Packing list for summer mountain holidays

Summer in the mountains

The summer months in the mountains can offer varied weather and terrain. One moment blue skies and a gentle breeze. The next second it's snowing and blowing cold and raining sideways. The mountains offer almost as many different activities as types of weather! With our long experience of the mountains, guests and guided tours, we have put together a packing list for you who are going to visit us and make one or more day trips.

When you rent from us, bed linen and shower towels are always included, so you never need to pack them. But it's a good idea to read the list and pack what's on it!
