HIKING IN SWITZERLAND
200 million hours. Can anyone imagine that? No. That's how long people hike in Switzerland every year. Switzerland is THE hiking nation for spending time in nature. Enthusiastic hikers spend an average of three to five hours a day admiring the beauty of the Swiss mountains. For most people, a hiking vacation in Switzerland is not just about climbing the mountains, but also about enjoying Rivella and traditional dishes such as Swiss sausage and cheese salad while taking a breather. The hiking season is starting and SIGG has a few suggestions on how to make hiking in Switzerland an unforgettable adventure.
RIGI KULM: THE CLASSIC
The Rigi: a classic for the most beautiful hikes in Switzerland. It is well-known, popular and enduring. The mountain massif between Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug is a popular excursion destination for tourists. A dense network of hiking trails offers long walks such as the high-altitude trail from Rigi Scheidegg to Rigi Kulm. Other leisure activities such as skiing, tobogganing and horse-drawn carriage rides are also on offer. But if you love hiking, you should make sure you have the right hiking equipment! Above all, it is important to have enough to drink on long tours. Just like the Rigi, SIGG aluminum bottles are a Swiss classic. Made in Switzerland, large capacity and carbonation-proof - these are just some of the outstanding features of the aluminum bottles. Especially the light weight of 130 grams makes the bottle comfortable for every hike. The practical twist-off cap allows you to carry it with just one finger - a must-have in any hiking kit.
THE ZUGSPITZE: HIKING TIP FOR THE SPORTY
Climbing the highest mountain in a country once in your life - the Zugspitze is the perfect place for anyone pursuing this dream. Advanced hikers climb the 2,200 meters in altitude with crampons on their feet, a climbing helmet on their head and a sports bottle from SIGG. Completely leak-proof and carbonated, they quench any thirst after a challenging hike. A hiking tip for all those who prefer more leisurely hikes and walks: the Zugspitze can also be climbed using three mountain railroads.
CITY WALK IN ZURICH - ZÜRI Z'FUESS
A hiking vacation in Switzerland is THE perfect vacation for nature lovers and adventure seekers. But of course Switzerland offers much more! Those who love city breaks and exploring foreign cultures will get their money's worth on a walk past the most famous sights in Zurich. A hiking tip for the whole family is the Elephant Hike. It starts at the Burgwies streetcar stop and leads past the Elefantenbach stream. Here, a stone elephant awaits you in the middle of the stream, which will not only make children's eyes light up. During the approximately two-hour hike, idyllic barbecue spots invite you to linger. Lunchboxes and Water Bottles from SIGG are also suitable for jute bags, rucksacks and handbags thanks to their innovative product design. Completely leak-proof and lightweight, our products accompany you and provide you with sufficient energy on your hikes in Switzerland!
PLEASURE HIKES - GUARANTEED TO BE A SUCCESS
A pleasure hike is particularly suitable for those who want to take a break, reward themselves after the ascent and enjoy the view. Pleasure hikes are particularly recommended on the German Moselle. Here, between the banks of the river and the vineyards, you can hike and, above all, drink wine. There are numerous winegrowers where you can sample regional wines and typical Mosel-Franconian snacks. With the right equipment, a pleasure hike is not only possible on the Moselle, but all over the world. For winter adventures, insulated thermos flasks are particularly suitable for enjoying your favorite coffee, tea or mulled wine hot even after a long hike. Those who prefer to enjoy the mountains in summer can enjoy their refreshing drinks such as lemonade and infused water cold for up to 30 hours with SIGG insulated bottles. One of our food boxes or food jars with excellent properties is ideal for the "to go" snack platter. Our boxes contain inserts that are not only suitable for the microwave, but also for the dishwasher. Thanks to the practical dividers, the whole snack plate can be taken along in one box. So every pleasure hike is guaranteed to be a success!
HIKING FOR BEGINNERS - TIPS FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE HIKING HOLIDAY
Thanks to its picturesque landscapes, Switzerland is ideal for hiking enthusiasts. Switzerland offers perfect conditions for an unforgettable hiking vacation, especially for beginners. There are a few basic tips and tricks for beginners to ensure your trip is a success. First of all, the choice of route is crucial. Easy trails such as the picturesque Uetlibergweg in Zurich or the idyllic Rigi walk not only offer impressive views, but are also ideal for beginners. Hiking equipment is at least as important as the right route. The choice of Water Bottle in particular plays a key role in staying sufficiently hydrated in the Swiss mountain air. A lightweight, durable water bottle made of stainless steel or plastic is ideal when you're out and about. Our Water Bottles have a large capacity of up to 1.5 liters, are free from harmful substances and are also a true Swiss original. It is very important to check the weather conditions before setting off on your hike, as the weather can change quickly in the Swiss mountains. A light rain jacket in your luggage ensures that you are prepared for all eventualities. With these simple tips, nothing stands in the way of an unforgettable hiking vacation in Switzerland.
