Hiking Pack List for Kids

Most hiking in Switzerland is near civilization, so you don’t need to pack that much for a day trip, besides drinking water and snacks.If you prefer not to pack food, many trails have a mountain hut cafe along the way. But we still have a few essentials that we like to bring.
