The best packing lists for Switzerland

Switzerland has its own type J sockets. A slim two-pin europlug usually fits, a German Schuko plug does not, and packing a small adapter is easier than hunting for one once you arrive.

Good to know for Switzerland

Prices are in Swiss francs. Cards and contactless work even for small amounts; some places accept euros but give change back in francs.

Mountain railways put you at high altitude within minutes, and every thousand metres of ascent brings a noticeable drop in temperature and sharper radiation. A wind shell, a hat and sunscreen come along on a simple day trip.

Drinking water is never an issue. Public fountains in towns and villages are there to refill from unless a sign says otherwise, so a light bottle keeps weight out of your bag for good.

Lists from other travellers

Public packing lists, best rated first. Ratings and copies by other travellers decide the order.
