12 Day Swiss Tour Sept 2025

Hello! If you’ve taken Rick’s Tour of Switzerland in Sept/Oct, is there anything you wished you had packed (but hadn’t) … or you packed and found unnecessary? TIA.

We did this wonderful tour pre-Covid. We were caught off guard by how warm the Swiss cities were, in the 80's, and had no summer clothes. The mountains will be brisk, especially in the mornings and evenings. And do bring a full-length rain coat and rain pants, for hiking in the drizzle, and warmth at 10,000 ft., if you have time for the Jungfraujoch.
You have a real treat in store. Safe travels!
