Zermatt Packing List Tips by sswagner

Luggage And Bags: Wheels on bags are preferable, although most hotels will pick you up at the train station if you call them.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Wool and synthetics are ideal. Cotton will be useless if it is cold and you get wet. Sunblock is essential as is eye protection and a hat. Gloves and windproof/waterproof outer gear are most desirable since the weather can change at any time, especially at the high elevations.

Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Aspirin might be desirable due to the high altitude. Some people have difficulty adjusting, and headaches can occur.

Photo Equipment: Absolutely bring a camera.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Trekking poles or a walking stick will help.

Miscellaneous: If riding the Gornergrat train or one of the cable cars, bring a map showing the route so you can know your options along the way.
