<p class="has-base-3-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1443c9f748b246d42b9c352bbfd1ca73">Switzerland has an extensive public transportation network (trains, buses, boats), but public transport is pricey.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Best Day Tours from Zurich: Cities</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Day Trip from Zurich to Lucerne</h3>



<p>Lucerne is renowned for its stunning lake and mountain scenery, as well as its preserved medieval architecture and painted houses. First of all, stroll in the charming alleys of the old town and walk across the <strong>Chapel Bridge</strong> (<strong><em>Kapellbrücke</em></strong>), spanning the Reuss river. The iconic wooden bridge, captured in many postcards, dates back to the 14th century but was sadly largely destroyed by a fire in 1993. It was lovingly restored and still holds a unique charm. Other landmarks to visit include the <strong>Lion Monument</strong>, carved in a quarry in 1820 by <strong>Bertel Thorvaldsen</strong>, the Danish sculptor who spent most of his life in Italy and was one of the leading artists of the Neoclassical movement.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Switzerland-Lucerne-at-Twilight-1024x768.jpg" alt="Lucerne Switzerland at Twilight" class="wp-image-41586" srcset="https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Switzerland-Lucerne-at-Twilight-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Switzerland-Lucerne-at-Twilight-600x450.jpg 600w, https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Switzerland-Lucerne-at-Twilight-300x224.jpg 300w, https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Switzerland-Lucerne-at-Twilight-80x60.jpg 80w, https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Switzerland-Lucerne-at-Twilight-900x675.jpg 900w, https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Switzerland-Lucerne-at-Twilight.jpg 1100w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Lucerne at Twilight</figcaption></figure>



<p>Don&#8217;t miss a <strong>boat ride on Lake</strong> <strong>Lucerne</strong>, surrounded by an idyllic landscape of verdant hills and snowcapped mountains. Mount Pilatus, Mount Titlis and Mount Rigi are very popular nearby mountain spots. However, it would be best to consider them (one or the other) as a day excursion from Zurich or Lucerne. In any case, you can visit <strong><a href="https://gyg.me/MLlLPIoZ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored">Lucerne and Mount Titlis from Zurich with a guided tour</a>.  </strong></p>



<p><strong>How to get from Zurich to Lucerne</strong>: There are regular trains from Zurich to Lucerne, with a journey time of between 41 and 60 minutes, depending on the number of stops between the two cities. This is by far the option I recommend if you plan to take a day trip to Lucerne from Zurich on your own. You can check the timetable, prices, and buy your ticket on <strong><a href="https://omio.tpk.lv/22OEN1X1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored">Omio</a></strong>. Once you&#8217;re in Lucerne, I suggest the <strong><a href="https://www.getyourguide.com/lucerne-l867/mt-pilatus-cable-car-cog-rail-lake-cruise-from-lucerne-t123611/?partner_id=YCMGZZW&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=ZURICH-DAY-TRIPS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored">Mt. Pilatus cable car, cogwheel train and lake cruise tour</a></strong>.  Driving takes more or less the same time, and you&#8217;ll have the hassle of finding a parking place for your car. </p>



<p>If you prefer an organized tour, these are the best day trips from Zurich to Lucerne:</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Day Trip from Zurich to Bern</h3>



<p>Often overshadowed by larger cities like Zurich <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">and&nbsp;<a href="https://wild-about-travel.com/1-day-in-geneva-switzerland/" target="_blank"><strong>Geneva</strong></a>, Bern offers a unique and</span> timeless charm. The capital of Switzerland is a beautiful city full of history, and its stunning historic center is a <strong>UNESCO World Heritage site</strong>. <strong><a href="https://www.msn.com/en-za/news/other/explore-bern-switzerland-s-medieval-capital-city-in-4k/vi-AA1Ei8lF#details" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bern</a></strong> also stands out for its lush green spaces and the green-turquoise water of the meandering river Aare.</p>



<p>Explore the charming old town, with its well-preserved historic houses and numerous fountains featuring ornate pillars that support statues. Admire the medieval <strong>Zytglogge</strong> clock tower, where every hour, the astronomical clock puts on a fascinating show as automated figurines bob and dance. In case you&#8217;re having an independent day trip from Zurich to Bern, you may enjoy a <strong>guided walking tour</strong> where you&#8217;ll discover the city&#8217;s must-see sights and learn about the history of Switzerland&#8217;s capital.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1300" height="866" src="https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Bern-mads-egmose-Yj1nPkR-xG0-unsplash-1-copy-1300x866.webp" alt="Bern, Capital of Switzerland and UNESCO Heritage Site" class="wp-image-46723" srcset="https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Bern-mads-egmose-Yj1nPkR-xG0-unsplash-1-copy-1300x866.webp 1300w, https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Bern-mads-egmose-Yj1nPkR-xG0-unsplash-1-copy-649x433.webp 649w, https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Bern-mads-egmose-Yj1nPkR-xG0-unsplash-1-copy-768x512.webp 768w, https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Bern-mads-egmose-Yj1nPkR-xG0-unsplash-1-copy.webp 1400w" sizes="(max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Bern, view of the old town and the Aare River</figcaption></figure>



<p>Stroll along the turquoise waters of the <strong>Aare River</strong> and take in the delightful surroundings. If you&#8217;re passionate about art and architecture, don&#8217;t miss visiting the <strong><a href="https://www.zpk.org/en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored">Paul Klee Zentrum</a></strong>. The museum, shaped like a double wave, was designed by architect Renzo Piano and hosts a fantastic collection of Klee&#8217;s works of art.</p>



<p>Although Bear Park is one of Bern&#8217;s prominent landmarks, it always made me feel uncomfortable. I feel for those poor bears who can roam freely, but in a limited space, and must endure the summer heat. Having said that, as the bear is the symbol of the city (you can also see it in the coat of arms of the Bern Canton), many people visit the Bärenpark.</p>



<p><strong>How to get from Zurich to Bern</strong>: There are regular trains from Zurich to Bern, and the journey takes about 60 minutes with the Intercity. If you prefer a guided tour, check out the <strong><a href="https://www.getyourguide.com/zurich-l55/berne-swiss-capital-tour-from-zurich-or-lucerne-t49469/?partner_id=YCMGZZW&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=ZURICH-DAY-TRIPS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored">day trip from Zurich to Bern and the countryside</a></strong> (including a visit to the Emmental cheese factory).</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rhine Falls Tour from Zurich (and Stein am Rhein)</h3>



<p>If you&#8217;re looking for places to visit near Zurich, the Rhine Falls, combined with Stein am Rhein and possibly Schaffhausen, make for an exciting excursion. </p>

<p>Although Switzerland is mostly renowned for its mountains, quaint villages, and lakes, the Rhine Falls are one of the country&#8217;s most notable attractions. Indeed, the Rhine Falls are <strong>the </strong><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>largest waterfall in Europe</strong>, boasting a width of 150 meters (492 feet) and a height of 23 meters (75.5 feet</span>). There are plenty of things to do over there: admiring the roaring water from the viewing platforms, enjoying a <strong><a href="https://www.getyourguide.com/neuhausen-am-rheinfall-l2823/neuhausen-am-rheinfall-30-minute-rhine-falls-boat-tour-t420791/?partner_id=YCMGZZW&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=ZURICH-DAY-TRIPS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored">boat ride</a></strong>, or experiencing a thrill at the Adventure Park.</p>



<p>To make your day trip from Zurich even more exciting, I suggest you combine the excursion to the Rhine Falls with a stroll in <strong><a href="https://wild-about-travel.com/stein-am-rhein-switzerland/" data-type="post" data-id="26829" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stein am Rhein</a></strong>, a delightful town whose finely painted houses will steal your heart as they stole mine. If time allows, you could also envisage a short stop in Schaffhausen, a lovely little city near the Rhine Falls.</p>

<p>How to get from Zurich to the Rhine Falls (and further, Schaffhausen and Stein am Rhein): There are regular trains connecting Zurich to the Rhine Falls (the station is Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall) and the journey takes about 50 minutes. You can check the timetable and prices and buy your ticket on <strong><a href="https://omio.tpk.lv/22OEN1X1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored">Omio</a></strong>. By car, you&#8217;ll need approximately 1 hour to get there. </p>



<p>A day trip from Zurich to the Rhine Falls is easy to organize on your own, but if you prefer a guided tour, there are a few interesting ones:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong><a href="https://www.getyourguide.com/zurich-l55/from-zurich-stein-am-rhein-and-rhine-falls-t58180/?partner_id=YCMGZZW&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=ZURICH-DAY-TRIPS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored">Stein am Rhein and Rhine Falls</a></strong> afternoon tour </li>

</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Exciting Day Trips from Zurich to the Alps</h2>



<p>Although Zurich is a fantastic city, I doubt anyone would visit Switzerland without seeing the mountains. Geneva is undoubtedly closer to the Alps, but you can also discover enchanting alpine scenery and quaint villages from Zurich. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Day Trip to Interlaken, Grindelwald &amp; Lauterbrunnen</h3>



<p>There are so many charming mountain villages in Switzerland and breathtaking alpine panoramas that you could easily stay for months to explore them. However, some are more famous than others, and Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken are among them. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Zurich to Jungfraujoch</h3>



<p>Jungfraujoch is arguably one of the most popular attractions in Switzerland. Being the highest railway in Europe, hence the nickname &#8220;<strong>Top of Europe</strong>&#8220;, it&#8217;s not surprising that tourists from all over the world visit it. Additionally, it&#8217;s one of the most exciting <strong><a href="https://wild-about-travel.com/unesco-world-heritage-sites-in-europe/" data-type="post" data-id="33712" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UNESCO Heritage Sites in Europe</a></strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1300" height="975" src="https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Jungfraujoch-subrat-singh-OepYEbhFT-8-unsplash-copy-1300x975.webp" alt="Jungfraujoch is one of the top attractions in Switzerland" class="wp-image-46704" srcset="https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Jungfraujoch-subrat-singh-OepYEbhFT-8-unsplash-copy-1300x975.webp 1300w, https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Jungfraujoch-subrat-singh-OepYEbhFT-8-unsplash-copy-649x487.webp 649w, https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Jungfraujoch-subrat-singh-OepYEbhFT-8-unsplash-copy-768x576.webp 768w, https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Jungfraujoch-subrat-singh-OepYEbhFT-8-unsplash-copy.webp 1400w" sizes="(max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Jungfraujoch, Photo courtesy</figcaption></figure>



<p>Organising the trip to Jungfraujoch from Zurich by yourself is highly challenging due to the multiple transportation means to reach the destination. For that reason, it&#8217;s a much better option to book a <strong><a href="https://www.getyourguide.com/lauterbrunnen-l2863/zurichlucerneinterlaken-to-jungfraujochtop-of-europe-t42645/?partner_id=YCMGZZW&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=ZURICH-DAY-TRIPS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored">day tour from Zurich to Jungfraujoch</a></strong>, which includes the train ride to Europe&#8217;s highest train station, sufficient time to admire the snowcapped peaks and the Aletsch Glacier and even the cable car ride from Grindelwald to Eiger Glacier.</p>



<p>I had a wonderful time when I visited <strong><a href="https://wild-about-travel.com/how-to-visit-jungfraujoch/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jungfraujoch</a></strong> a few years ago, and I&#8217;ll never forget those amazing views. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><br />Day  Trip from Zurich to Zermatt (and Gornergrat)</h3>



<p>I love alpine scenery, and there are a few mountains that are my absolute favorites. The Matterhorn, almost perfectly shaped as a pyramid, is one of those mountains that makes me feel in awe. Furthermore, the views from the Gornergrat, as well as the ones from the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, are nothing short of breathtaking. You&#8217;ll admire snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and many of Europe&#8217;s highest alpine summits. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1300" height="865" src="https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Gornergrat-pexels-jean-paul-wettstein-677916508-20367485-copy-1-1300x865.webp" alt="Zermatt, Gornergrat and the view of the Matterhorn" class="wp-image-46725" srcset="https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Gornergrat-pexels-jean-paul-wettstein-677916508-20367485-copy-1-1300x865.webp 1300w, https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Gornergrat-pexels-jean-paul-wettstein-677916508-20367485-copy-1-649x432.webp 649w, https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Gornergrat-pexels-jean-paul-wettstein-677916508-20367485-copy-1-768x511.webp 768w, https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Gornergrat-pexels-jean-paul-wettstein-677916508-20367485-copy-1.webp 1400w" sizes="(max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Zermatt, Gornergrat and the view of the Matterhorn</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>How to get to Zermatt from Zurich</strong>: It takes 3h 15min by train from Zurich to Zermatt, and on the last stretch, from Visp to Zermatt, you&#8217;ll board <strong><a href="https://wild-about-travel.com/most-scenic-train-rides-in-switzerland/" data-type="post" data-id="34323">one of the most scenic trains in Switzerland</a></strong>. On <strong><a href="https://omio.tpk.lv/22OEN1X1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored">Omio</a></strong>, you can check the schedule, price, and buy your ticket. Unfortunately, seat reservations are not possible on the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn. If you&#8217;re traveling by car, don&#8217;t forget that Zermatt is car-free, so you&#8217;ll have to park in Täsch and catch the shuttle train to reach the alpine town. </p>



<p>If you prefer to avoid the hassle, the <strong><a href="https://www.getyourguide.com/zurich-l55/from-zurich-small-group-tour-to-zermatt-and-mt-gornergrat-t207252/?partner_id=YCMGZZW&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=ZURICH-DAY-TRIPS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored">small group tour from Zurich to Zermatt and Mt. Gornergrat</a></strong> is a great option to discover one of the most beautiful mountain sceneries in Europe (and, in my opinion, the world). It&#8217;s a long journey, though. Additionally, it&#8217;s essential to consider the altitude at the Gornergrat, which is 3,100 meters/10,171 feet. Also, be sure to wear appropriate clothing, as it can be very cold even in Summer. </p>



<p>_____</p>



<p>There are so many exciting day trips from Zurich that it&#8217;s hard to choose. All the places mentioned above are gorgeous, each in its way. I suggest you select a trip based on your interests, budget, and the season. As for me, I loved all these destinations, as every one gave me strong emotions. </p>

<p><strong>Where to stay</strong>: To ride the Schynige Platte train and visit this beautiful area, the best place to stay is Interlaken. From there, you can easily explore the region by train, boat, cable car, and bus. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong>Schynige Platte: One of the Most Panoramic train Routes in Switzerland</strong></h2>



<p>Leaving Wilderswil, a small town <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">near <strong>Interlaken</strong>, the train slowly climbs steep tracks across beautiful forests, <strong>green fields dotted with flowers in Summer</strong>, and glimpses of the surrounding peaks. It takes many twists and turns and 52 minutes to ride 7.26 km (4.51 mi) until it reaches its destination: Schynige Platte, the plateau offering magnificent views of the <strong>Eiger</strong>, <strong>Mönch,</strong></span> and <strong>Jungfrau</strong> as well as over <strong>Lake Brienz.</strong></p>

</div>


<p>The slow journey to <strong><a href="https://www.okthepk.ca/publicArchive/201508schynigePlatte/month00.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Schynige</a><a href="https://www.okthepk.ca/publicArchive/201508schynigePlatte/month00.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Platte</a></strong> along the cog railway is pure bliss. As I sat in the vintage open carriages, lulled by the rhythm of the climbing train, my thoughts quickly flew away to an imaginary world mixing memories from the past and present emotions.</p>



<p>I felt like I could experience the journey with all my senses: not only the stunning views but also the smell of the forest, the sound of the wind (and of the climbing train, of course), the taste of fresh air, and so much beauty.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Schynige-Platte-8-1000x625.jpg" alt="Schynige Platte" class="wp-image-17559"/></figure>
</div>


<p>As soon as I stepped out of the train, I was overwhelmed by the stunning mountain scenery: green meadows, rocks carved by erosion, and, a little farther, glittering white glaciers. It was as if an imaginary board welcomed me, telling me, &#8216; Welcome to Paradise.&#8217;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Schynige-Platte-15-1000x625.jpg" alt="Schynige Platte" class="wp-image-17566" title="Schynige Platte"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The view of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau</figcaption></figure>

<p></p>



<p>Schynige Platte is the starting point for several <strong>hiking trails</strong>&nbsp;of various lengths and difficulty. Although I didn&#8217;t have enough time for a long walk, I headed towards one of the shorter paths to enjoy a little physical exercise and admire more of the stunning landscape surrounding me.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://wild-about-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Schynige-Platte-10-1000x625.jpg" alt="Schynige Platte, Alpine Garden" class="wp-image-17561" title="Schynige Platte, Alpine Garden"/></figure>

<p>On the way back, I stopped to have a look at the alpine garden, which collects over 600 species, before heading to the panoramic restaurant for <strong>one of my favorite typical Swiss dishes</strong>: <strong>Rösti</strong> (for those who have never tasted it, it&#8217;s made of fried grated potatoes often including bacon and in some cases with a fried egg on top), washed down with a glass of cold beer.</p>

<p>Whether you&#8217;re a mountain lover or passionate about scenic train routes, the Schynige Platte vintage train is a <strong>must-do in Switzerland</strong>. Aside from <strong>Jungfrau Top of Europe</strong>, offering magnificent views of the glaciers, and the <strong>Gornergrat in Zermatt</strong>, overlooking the <a title="Like a postcard… Reflected Matterhorn" href="https://wild-about-travel.com/2010/02/postcard-matterhorn-pond/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Matterhorn</strong></a> and its perfect shape like a pyramid, Schynige Platte has the advantage of being lesser known but beautiful. </p>



<p>Furthermore, the ride to Schynige Platte is suitable to all. Families with children, couples looking for a romantic gateway, elderly keen to spend a day out in nature without having to worry too much about the altitude or hikers keen to walk along lovely and lesser crowded trails.</p>



<p><strong>Which are the most scenic train journeys you have experienced?&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><strong>Why is a day hike packing list essential? Over the years, I learned that while a day hike may seem nothing to think much about, especially if it’s an easy one, you always have to be prepared. Here’s my list of essential hiking gear.</strong></p>



<p style="font-size:15px"><em>This article contains affiliate links to products I use during my hikes or carefully selected. If you buy any of them, I will get a small commission at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, I earn commission from qualifying purchases.</em></p>



<p>I’ve been&nbsp;<a href="/?p=12910" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>hiking alone</strong></a>&nbsp;for a long time, and I had my share of one-day walks, some quite long. I learned a few valuable lessons, like never underestimating how quickly the weather can change and being prepared (as much as possible) for the unexpected. That’s how I found out that there’s must-have hiking gear that I should always have with me, no matter where I go and for how long.&nbsp;I also created a day hike checklist, which helps me not to forget essential items.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong>Day hike packing list and&nbsp;must-have&nbsp;hiking gear</strong></h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading p1"><span class="s1"><a id="backpack"></a><strong>Backpack</strong> </span></h3>



<p>I assume that anyone going on a day hike will have a backpack. However, choosing the right one is crucial so you are comfortable and the burden doesn’t load too much on your back. These are&nbsp;<strong>the most significant features of a day hike backpack</strong>:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>22-25 liters</strong>: enough to store your essential gear</li>



<li><strong>Breathable air mesh back panel</strong>: you don’t want your daypack to stick on your back, do you?</li>



<li><strong>Load-bearing hip belt</strong>&nbsp;to keep your backpack stable and reduce the weight on your back.</li>



<li><strong>Integrated rain cover</strong>, so that you don’t have to buy a separate one.</li>
</ul>


<div class="gb-container gb-container-06fab976">

<p>I’m a big fan of Osprey backpacks and have a few in different sizes. They&#8217;re pricey but sturdy, and I particularly like that they have backpacks specially designed for women.</p>



<p>I love my&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/2XENGKr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Osprey Sirrus 24L</strong></a>, which is perfect for a day hike. As for men, the&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/2PrhPYN" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Osprey Stratos 24L</strong></a> is an excellent backpack for day hikes, similar to the Sirrus.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Hiking Shoes</strong></h3>



<p>Technically speaking, you don’t pack your hiking shoes but… This is the most essential hiking gear since&nbsp;<strong>hiking shoes have a huge impact on comfort AND safety</strong>. Therefore, if you have a limited budget, you can buy cheaper versions of any hiking essentials, but shoes and backpacks are the ones for which you should spend more.</p>



<p>What are the&nbsp;<strong>key features of hiking shoes</strong>?</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Comfort</strong>: this is very personal because everyone&#8217;s feet are shaped differently. You can buy hiking shoes online, but first, go to a store and try them on.</li>



<li><strong>Waterproof</strong>: few things are more unpleasant than wet feet. Even if the sun shines, you might have to cross a stream.</li>



<li><strong>Proper dented soles</strong>&nbsp;to walk on rough terrain.</li>
</ul>

<p>I’m delighted with my&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/2BYXK9c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>La Sportiva&nbsp;hiking boots</strong></a>. High and supportive of my ankles, they were my faithful companions when hiking&nbsp;<a href="/?p=23202" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Los Glaciares in Patagonia</strong></a>, the&nbsp;<a href="/?p=30765" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Dolomites</strong></a>, and many other places.</p>



<p>Additionally, I recently bought a pair of&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/2EVkJDl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>mid-height La Sportiva hiking shoes</strong></a>, which are perfect for day hikes. Although I miss feeling my ankles steady, these shoes are lighter and more practical when I go on trails that I already know are not particularly challenging. They’re also convenient for a short break because I can wear them with jeans and don’t need to bring a second pair of shoes. I use mine quite often, and I bet you would, too.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Spare clothes (especially when it’s warm)</strong></h3>



<p>How you dress for your hike depends on the season, the location, and the weather. However,&nbsp;<strong>whatever your outfit, you must be prepared in case of a sudden change in the weather conditions</strong>. Something that can quickly happen in the mountains.</p>



<p>Winter and cold temperatures make things easier.&nbsp;Layers are the way to go; if it suddenly gets warmer, it’s just a matter of removing a layer. But Summer, as well as Spring and Autumn, can be treacherous. That’s why I suggest always&nbsp;<strong>adding spare clothes in your backpack when you head for a day hike</strong>. Looking at the weather forecast before hiking is good practice, but remember that it’s not an exact science. Forecasts can be wrong.</p>



<p>If you wonder what to bring on a day hike, here’s my hiking checklist of spare clothes:&nbsp;</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Hiking poles</strong></h3>



<p>Since I started using hiking poles, I always bring them with me. They make me feel more stable, and they help me&nbsp;<strong>reduce the impact on my knees</strong>&nbsp;when walking downhill.</p>



<p>Like everything, there’s a variety of options to choose from, from cheap sticks to expensive ones. To be honest, unless you’re off for a very challenging expedition, I don’t think it’s worth spending a lot of money.&nbsp;<strong>Mid-range priced hiking poles will do well enough</strong>.</p>



<p>However, when choosing, keep in mind a few hiking poles essential features.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Collapsible</strong>&nbsp;sticks are much more practical to carry along once your hike is over. You can choose between telescopic and folding hiking poles. I have a pair of telescopic sticks with twist locks, and recently bought folding sticks which are extremely practical.</li>



<li><strong>Shock-absorbent</strong></li>



<li><strong>Light-weight</strong></li>



<li><strong>Natural cork grips</strong>: they’re not essential, but they’re useful to absorb sweat, and I find them more pleasant to the touch.</li>
</ul>



<p>You won’t get wrong with the collapsible, lightweight, shock-absorbent&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://amzn.to/3kiXvHg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Foxelli Trekking Poles</a></strong>.&nbsp;If you’d instead buy foldable sticks, the&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://amzn.to/2XyTZii" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Equipeak Collapsible Folding Hiking &amp; Trekking Sticks</a></strong>&nbsp;are good value for money.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Water bottle and purifier</strong></h3>



<p>Hydration when hiking is essential and my day hike packing list always includes at least 1 liter of water (33 Oz.), often two liters (66 Oz.). I usually prefer cold water; however, on a cold and windy day, a hot beverage is a sweet treat.</p>



<p>The&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://amzn.to/2BZfzVE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Thermos Stainless King 68 Ounce</a></strong>&nbsp;keeps liquids hot or cold for about 24 hours, and I like the integrated cap allowing to drink hot beverages easily.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Since having enough water is my greatest concern when I go hiking, and I want to avoid carrying too much weight, I’m pleased with my&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://amzn.to/30v63D3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">LifeStraw Go Water Filter Bottles</a></strong>. I am able to refill them at a stream, filtering the water.&nbsp;And since I want to be sure about the water I drink, I use the&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/2XyV5dU" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow"><strong>Steripen Adventurer Opti Purifier</strong>.</a>&nbsp;That way, I can hike with a lighter backpack and at the same time, I can safely drink liquids from creeks and fountains along the trail.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Tube Bandana, Lightweight quick-dry towel</strong></h3>



<p>A tube bandana is a simple, light, and cheap accessory which is one of my favorite and should be included in any day hike packing list.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I like&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/2XvYr1u" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow"><strong>tube bandanas</strong></a>&nbsp;for their versatility. I use them as a neck warmer, headscarf, hair wrapper, and always bring one or two with me, wherever I go, and not only when off to the mountains.</p>



<p>Indeed, I felt glad to have one with me when I fell while hiking the&nbsp;<a href="/?p=27207" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>West Highland Way in Scotland</strong></a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;I hurt my wrist short before reaching half of the last leg, a very long 30+ km walk. There was no other option than continue hiking, and my wrist was painful. To ease the pain, I regularly soaked the bandana in the cold water of the many streams, wrapping it around the wrist and finding relief. During the summer heat, I wear a wet bandana on my head and feel refreshed. And a tube bandana often adds a fashionable touch to my outfit.</p>

<p>Weather can be unpredictable, and I always have a&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/2EOh0r2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow"><strong>lightweight, quick-dry, microfiber towel</strong></a>&nbsp;at hand in case of a sudden shower.&nbsp;&nbsp;I used it quite a lot when hiking in Scotland and when I traveled along the&nbsp;<a href="https://wild-about-travel.com/causeway-coastal-route-trip-lifetime-part-1/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow"><strong>Causeway Coastal Route</strong></a>&nbsp;since showers in the UK are common. No one likes to feel wet all day long, right?</p>



<p>Additionally, I use the towel as a blanket to sit on the grass and enjoy a picnic during my hikes.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">First Aid Kit and… Compeed Blister Cushions</h3>



<p>I am an optimist by nature, and always think that everything will be fine. I learned my lesson when I hurt myself on a couple of occasions. Since then, I added a&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/2DFZUeh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow"><strong>First Aid Kit&nbsp;</strong></a>to my day hike packing list.</p>



<p>There’s nothing worse than sore feet, and blisters can seriously ruin a hike. That’s why I never leave without a pack of&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/2XtdtEX" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow"><strong>Compeed blister cushions</strong></a>&nbsp;of mixed sizes, suitable for heels, toe and the side of the foot. I tried a couple of other brands, but none are as good and effective, so I stick to my precious Compeeds. I strongly recommend adding Compeeds to your hiking packing list. In case of need, you’ll feel incredibly grateful to have them in your backpack.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sunscreen</strong></h3>



<p>Never forget to protect your skin with a good sunscreen. Also, remember that&nbsp;<strong>the sun rays filter as well through thin clouds</strong>. Apply sunscreen generously on your face (including ears), your neck (don’t forget the back), and all the parts of your body exposed to the sun.</p>



<p>A few years ago I started suffering from allergic reactions to greasy products and found out that&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/2DnP4tP" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow"><strong>La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin Sunscreen</strong></a>&nbsp;is perfect for me.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Another excellent product is <strong><a href="https://amzn.to/47mqHGn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">EltaMD UV Sport Sunscreen Lotion</a></strong>, SPF50, &nbsp;which provides decent protection and doesn’t give me any skin rash.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Don’t rely exclusively on your mobile phone. You might find yourself out of coverage, with a low battery, or your device might break. In case of an unfortunate event, you’ll be happy to have an old basic whistle to call for help.</p>

The INIU portable charger is ultra-slim, light, and fast. The perfect solution for a day hike.</p>
