SUMMER/SPRING SEASONS: SWITZERLAND PACKING LIST

#1 Travel bags for adventure, cities and/or small towns?

For summer/spring, your luggage is generally lighter because the clothes are usually smaller & lighter (e.g. t-shirts, shorts, light dresses etc). 

And, before you choose your summer/spring packing list, you should also consider what activities you’ll be engaging in during your summer/spring travels because this will help you think about the types of things you’re going to take with you. 

A Good Starting Point: Are you going to adventurous places, cosmopolitan cities or small towns?

1) Adventure 

If you’re going for a summer adventure trip (e.g. hiking etc.), you might want to take something easy to carry like a sweat-proof, foldable backpack in addition to your luggage. 

Under US$25 Backpack Recommendation:  the Venture Pal 40L Lightweight Packable Backpack (comes in 11 Colors).

Here are the 5 things that set this backpack apart (apart from the colors available):

1. Price point – set at under $25, this is a value backpack for your adventures.
2. It’s waterproof – waterproof wet pocket in the main compartment
3. It’s durable – made of very strong nylon fabric.
4. Easy to Keep – Can be folded into its own storage pocket
5. Lightweight – only 0.7 Pounds!

2) Cities

For summer/spring sightseeing in different Swiss destinations, I’d recommend either a backpack or a wheeled duffel bag (for easy access to things and maneuverability).

One of the best selling Travel tumblers is the:
