Switzerland has many fun things to do to let out some steam, relax, rejuvenate, and refresh. You can either go hiking, skiing in the Alps, camping and a lot more. Out of these many fun things, today I am taking sledding in Switzerland.

Sledging is a winter activity that gives you hours of fun. It’s so addictive that you can’t help but go back to the top multiple times to have a recap. Lucky for you, there are numerous sledging runs available.

In this guide, I will take you through some beginner tips and, in the end, leave you with the top 5 sledge runs in the country. It will be a fun ride, so let’s jump right in.

 

How to sled in Switzerland?

Before going sledging in Switzerland, you need to know these essentials to be safe and fun. I care about you. That’s why I bring you some valuable tips for sledding in Switzerland, especially if you are a beginner or new to this sport.

  1. You will find long Swiss sleds at many ski resorts. A sledge run is a posted sledging route down the mountain with trimmed snow.
  2. Using the sledge run is free of cost. However, you require to pay for the transport to get there. You can pay for a single ride or multi-pack, aka day pass. Thankfully, they don’t cost that much. A day pass generally costs 30-40 CHF per adult, but lucky for you; they get discounts if you have children or teens. On the other hand, a single ride costs 10-15 CHF per adult.
  3. Renting Swiss sleds from ski resorts near the sledge run’s kiosk, lift station, or ticket office.
  4. If you would like to buy Swiss sleds, then I would recommend racing style toboggans (easy-to-use & comfy), Davos-style wood sledge (smooth ride and decent control), bob style plastic sledge (preferred by children), or shovel-style sledges. (lightweight, easy-to-carry, & easily fit in your Ruigor Icon bag)
  5. If you are sledging double with small children, having a large roomy one is wise because children can’t steer these.
  6. If you are sledging with a toddler or baby, I recommend attaching sledge sacks or baby sledge seats for their safety and comfort.
  7. If you wonder what to wear while sledging, it’s nothing new, only the same warm base layers and waterproof outer layers to keep dry.
  8. Don’t hurry up before sledging. It’s always wise to check the snow conditions and ski resort operating status to ensure that the sledge runs and lifts are running.

With that out of the way, let us discuss the basics of sledding in Switzerland.

 

Sledding in Switzerland 101: the basics

Once you have bought (not recommended) or rented your sledge, it’s time to learn sitting on, riding, steering, and braking it in style.

Sitting on the sledge

Here’s the easy part, all you need to do is sit and lean back on your seat, then hold on tight to the leash. After that, you are allowed to rest your feet on your sledge’s front corners on flat areas.

Riding your sledge

Now, if the surface is a slope, you will automatically go down as soon as you are seated in the way I told you. However, if the surface is comparatively flat, someone might need to give you a little push.

Steering the sledge

To turn, all you must do is lean and pull your leash in the desired direction. If that sounds boring to you, let’s add a little drama to it, so to turn sharply, drag one foot on the side.

Braking the sledge

The last step is to brake your sledge unless you wish to keep riding till the end of time. So to brake, lean back and drag both your feet on the snow to bring it to a screeching halt. (and some snow on your clothes and face) for very steep slopes, I recommend sitting back, holding the top front rails, and pulling backwards, making it tilt up and stop.

Braking gear: To make braking sledges (because it’s an activity you will do more than once) much more convenient, I recommend braking soles low profile traction cleats that create more resistance when dragging your feet. These come in handy, especially if the snow is icy.

 

5 Best sledding in Switzerland runs

Once the landscape in the country transforms into a white fantasy landscape, the sky turns bright blue, and the snow glitters in the sun. That’s how beautiful Switzerland looks in winters, which makes it the perfect time for you to pack your sledges, whether classic or bobsleds, in your Ruigor Icon bag. Head out into one of the five best and most famous Swiss sleds I am about to discuss with the sole aim of inspiring you to have some snow sledging fun.

Tobogganing Bergun

Sledding In Switzerland

The first on our list is Europe’s longest-lighted toboggan run. Tobogganing Bergun takes you sliding beneath the towering viaducts via a captivating landscape. Let’s look at some critical points of one of Europe’s most accessible Swiss sleds.

Difficulty: Easy.

Length: 6 km.

Altitude difference: 400 m.

Fun fact: The distance you cover from Bergun to Preda via Rhaetian railway is a UNESCO world heritage site.

 

Tobogganing Lenzerheide

Sledding In Switzerland

The next one, Tobogganing Lenzerheide, is perfect for everyone because it’s safe and well prepared, whether solo, group, beginner, or expert. Leading from the Scharmoin central station, your toboggan ride will go left and right via the curves to the Rothorn cable car’s Valley Station in about 15 minutes.

Difficulty: Medium.

Length: 3.8 km.

Altitude difference: 410 m.

Fun fact: Want to go night sledging? Then, come here every Wednesday from December to March.

 

Sledding Kronberg

Sledding In Switzerland

Let’s start with a fun fact, Sledding Kronberg is the longest toboggan run in east for Sledding in Switzerland, going all the way from the Summit of Kronberg down to Jakobsbad. The best part about this one is it is as thrilling as it is fun with a mix of flat and steep sections plus, if you need refreshments in between, the Scheidegg Inn is also there.

Difficulty: Medium.

Length: 8 km.

Altitude difference: 740 m.

Fun fact: I recommend you to take your time to admire the Alpstein chain with the Santis’ picturesque view before sledging.

 

Sledding Zugerberg

Sledding In Switzerland

If you are energetic enough to sledge down the mountain but lazy enough not to prepare your sledge, then Sledging Zugerberg is the ideal Sledding in Switzerland run for you because they already keep the sledge prepared. So have fun going down the local mountain as you see beautiful views and the Restaurant Zugerberg for refreshments.

Difficulty: Medium.

Length: 2.5 km.

Altitude difference: 365 m.

Fun fact: Locals say it is a famous location during the foggy wintertime when you can see the fog from above under the sun.

 

Sledding Rigi

Sledding Rigi

What can be a better place to sledge from than the Queen of the mountains? The Rigi offers you picturesque sledging slopes and winter hiking trails. Here you will find multiple well-prepared hiking slopes and a lot of fun.

Difficulty: Easy-medium

Length: 0.6-3.8 km.

Altitude difference: 121-538 m.

Fun fact: I would recommend issuing a Rigi Day Card. I mean, who doesn’t love free-of-cost toboggan runs?

So now that you know the essentials, it’s time to pack your sledging gear and head out for some fun family time in Switzerland.

 

Conclusion

Sledding is a preferred activity to do in Switzerland. It’s a fun activity that I recommend you to go on with your family and friends during your vacation.

The Differentiation Between A Sling Bag And A Hip Pack

You must have seen articles and other things on the internet where arguably people are interchangeably using the words sling bag and hip pack, it’s many names such as waist packs, fanny packs, bum bags, or belt bags, we ran out of breath, but its names won’t end. Anyway, it’s a myth that they are the same. There is a vast difference between Ruigor Sling Bags and hip packs.

For now, let’s keep it as a hip bag can always be a sling bag, but not guaranteed a good one. However, a sling bag is never a hip bag. Got it, moving on to why should you use a sling bag?

Why You Should Use A Sling Bag

Sling bags are perfect for keeping pocket-size items, especially when travelling, such as when on hikes. As a bonus, it will also fit all the things your pocket can’t.

There’s a barrage of examples coming up, so get ready to read them all.

  2. Men’s cross-body sling bag gives you easy access.
  3. A small sling bag for men is ideal for festivals, everyday carry, hiking & outdoor ventures, amusement parks, exploring towns, and many other things (almost for all the million things you do every day.

How to pick a sling bag in 2022?

Now you obviously won’t just go to the store, close your eyes, and pick a random bag that your finger touches.

Picking a sling bag in 2022 (or any year for that matter) is not an easy task (why would you read it if we wouldn’t say that). There are many features you need to check before finalising. Here’s what you must know about Men’s cross-body sling bags.

Volume & size: First, you need to check whether the sling bag is capable enough to store all your stuff, then comes the more important part, since sling bags give all the weight on your one shoulder, you must ensure that it’s neither too light nor too heavy.

Profile: Let us give you straight, a sling bag available in tall or wide shapes. Both shapes are perfect for different use-cases. Just ensure that it fits balanced on your chest and back; otherwise, it’s a hip pack.

Weather resistance Imagine you were singing and it started raining. Unfortunately, it took you a long time to find a shelter. However, thanks to your weather-resistant sling bag, all your things are safe, especially your Smartphone.

The bottom line, choose a weather-resistant men’s cross-body sling bag. But how can you test for this property? Just pour some water in, but for real, when it gets wet, water-resistant sling bags are easy to wipe dry and good as new.

Zipper: It may just look like a minor feature, but you also need to check the zipper. For starters, it should not have a broken zipper, nor should it break while on your journey. To test the zipper strength, we would recommend you follow these steps.

  • Try opening and closing it once; go to the next step if it happens smoothly.
  • We need to check whether the zipper is strong or just for show. To do that, open and close it ten times, alternating between fast and slow. If it feels smooth every time, your zipper has passed the test.

Hardware: In sling bags for men, buckles are the essential part. The verdict should be strong. There’s no test method here, so you need to research a good brand that manufactures these packs.

Which Sling Bag Is Best?

To answer this question, we had to narrow down the top 3 sling bags for men from the 1000s out there. So please take a look and choose the best one for yourself.

Pacsafe Vibe 150 Anti-theft Sling Pack: Well, if you are afraid that someone might scan your card or steal your things, then the Pacsafe Vibe 150 Anti-theft Sling Pack is for you. It’s loaded with security features, including a slash guard, lockable zippers, cut-resistant wire reinforced shoulder strap, and an RFID blocking pocket to ensure that your things, money, and identity stay inside with you. Plus, you get three pockets for easy organisation.

Black Ember TKS Waterproof Tech-kit Sling: Unless you are a superhero, who can dry wet things with your powers, you wouldn’t want your items to get wet in the rain. But don’t worry, sling bags are water-resistant, and as the name suggests, this one is waterproof. Plus, you get six pockets that you can use as a wallet.

Ruigor Sling Bags: Ruigor makes many sling bags, but all of their bags are not only loaded with security features and water-resistant but also come with a USB charger outside to let you charge your phone on the go. Plus, they are neither too heavy nor too light, giving you the much-needed functionality and comfort you need. Hands down, Ruigor Sling Bags are the best sling bags for men.

What Kind Of Backpack Should I Get For College?

Well, interesting question. Since going to college is a big deal, you need to have a backpack that can last long enough throughout your college years, and who knows, maybe beyond. First, you need to look out for some things in your college backpack, sturdiness, versatility, style, and a few more.

Let’s talk about it in a bit of detail, just for the sake of it.

Sturdiness

First things first, your college bag needs to be strong enough to hold all your stuff. After all, you carry so much in your bag, books, headphones, chargers, laptops, etc. So your bag must be capable enough to firmly carry all your stuff and save you from the embarrassment when your things fall in front of your friends because your bag was a cheap replica of a branded bag. Also, don’t forget that it should also last longer.

Versatility

Hands down, we don’t use college backpacks for a single purpose. That’s why versatility is essential for your college backpack, which you can easily find in the Ruigor Chrono bag.

The post 14 Gym Bag Essentials For Every Workout appeared first on Swiss Ruigor.

A healthy mind loves a healthy body. We all have heard and believe in that. That’s why we hit the gym every morning or evening to stay in shape. But, if it’s your first time, like everything else, in gymming too, it’s always first things first: you need some equipment. So, these are the gym bag essentials you must always have at your health club.

This blog runs you through the essential things you need to carry in your Ruigor Motion gym bag. We wrote this post especially to help first-timers wishing to hit the gym ensure that they don’t miss anything at home and get to bodybuilding straight away.

So start packing these things. It’s time to burn some calories.

What Not To Pack In Your Gym Bag?

Let’s go off-topic for a bit and find out the things you don’t need to pack in your Ruigor Motion for the gym, to be sure. But, don’t worry; the best section of this blog is next. We promise.

  1. Gloves.
  2. During-workout drinks.
  3. Disinfectant wipes.

Gym Bag Essentials For Beginners

When you start packing your Ruigor Motion before going to the gym, remember to always zip in these things unless you want a round trip back home. It can frustrate you and burn some extra unwanted petrol too if you go to your exercise club on a bike for that matter.

Gym bag

Unless you want to look like someone who has come shopping with a shopping bag at the gym, you need a gym bag to put all your gym essentials in. You don’t need anything fancy, just something that can conveniently carry your gymming stuff, such as a duffel bag. We would recommend the Ruigor Motion backpack.

Workout-specific gear

This one is optional, and you only need it if you schedule your daily workout. Let’s give you an example to be more precise. For instance, you might need a weighted dipping belt for pull-ups, fractional plates for micro loading Barbells or tension bands, a yoga mat, ankle weights, a weighted vest, etc ., depending on your workout.

Pre-workout

So what’s a pre-workout, you ask? Nope, it’s not the warm-up or exercise before the real deal; it’s caffeine drinks that give you energy for workouts, performances, and recovery. These are optional, but as per some studies, it gives you a performance boost. As a bonus, which is a win-win.

Sneakers

We have been through this harsh realization when we would forget our sneakers to the gym. Trust us. It isn’t very pleasant to see others cycling, while you can’t because you forgot your shoes at home. Also, don’t forget your socks either.

Headphones

Let us ask you something, would you like a good workout or a satisfied excellent workout? You will surely prefer the latter, for which you need motivational music. So pack your favourite headphones and hit the gym.

Reusable water bottle

It’s the basics. When you exert too much sweat, you get thirsty. So without explanation, don’t forget to pack your water bottle before you reach the gym. Staying hydrated is crucial to achieving your weight loss goals.

Gym clothes

It will be so embarrassing if you forget your gym attire at the gym. Although you can exercise in anything that makes you comfy, gym clothes inspire you at the right spot. So they are a must-must

Dry shampoo

This thing on our list can be convenient, especially at times when you are spent enough to take a shower. At such times a dab of dry shampoo can help you remove excess sweat & oils from your hair and give your roots volume and texture. Very useful if you ask us.

Shower essentials

Now, for those of you who never run out of energy, even after extreme workouts, we would suggest you pack some shower essentials, including shampoos, conditioners, body wash, etc. ensure that you are shinning from tip to toe.

Cleansing wipes

These are the essentials, especially for women. After a heavy workout, you wish to remove sweat and makeup (although we won’t recommend it at the gym). Not only that, but it also works perfectly as an odour neutraliser.

Deodorant

You need this spray can at the gym. Not only to smell good for others but for yourself. Besides, there is no harm in spraying some in your underarms before, after, and during your workout.

Wide-toothed comb

Another essential for women and men with long hair. You know, it’s always annoying when snags or knots in your hair get in the way of your exercise. This accessory helps you gently remove these things, isn’t it great?

Compact microfiber towel

A word of advice before you hit the gym; its towels don’t guarantee to work on everyone. In other words, it might not clean you properly after a workout. So, be wise and pack your compact microfiber towel in your Ruigor Motion bag and get ready for the challenge.

Snack

Last but not least, snacks. If you are asking, am I going to the gym to work out or eat? Then let us inform you, you will need some light snacks like an energy bar to replenish your energy between workouts.

So there you have it, now you are familiar with all the gym bag essentials to pack in your Motion bag. We wish you good luck and success in your next workout.

Conclusion:

We all know that a healthy mind lives in a healthy body. That’s why we go to the gym every day to work out, lose weight and stay in shape to stay energized for the day. However, there are some essentials at the gym that you must have in your Ruigor Motion bag. So pack everything and hit the gym, fully prepared for your next workout.

Travelling by flight is a necessity for some and a luxury for others. Whatever the reason, travelling on airlines is a unique and enjoyable experience, primarily when we use a personal backpack to carry with us to our destinations. However, if the word didn’t ring a bell, don’t worry, as this blog is all about backpacks.

So, what am I in for, you ask? This post tells you all about backpacks as a personal item and teaches you how to pack light for flights. As a bonus for reading, we also leave you with the personal item backpack list. So, read on, and as always, have fun.

Can You Use A Backpack As A Personal Item?

Backpacks are available in many sizes; some are short for single-day hikes and some large for multi-day hikes and extended vacations. These are categorised as personal items and carry-on items. So, to give you a straight answer, it’s yes, you can use backpacks as personal items. If you want a definition, a personal bag item is bag that fits under the seat of your flight.

Here are some neat examples of a personal item backpack.

  • A purse.
  • A handbag.
  • A laptop bag.
  • A briefcase.

Is A Backpack A Carry-On Or Personal Item?

Good question indeed. Many people get confused about whether a backpack is a carry-on or personal item. So we embark on a mission to clear this confusion once and for all.

In short, if it fits under your seat, then it’s a personal item, which means that your small backpacks and daypacks qualify under this category.

On the other hand, if your Ruigor Chrono is bigger for multi-day hikes, it will not fit under your seat. Thus it becomes a carry-on item. Also, to give you a chin up, if your backpack doesn’t even fit the size of the overhead flight carrier, it’s check-in luggage, and you can’t bring it with you on your flight, although you will get it back at the destination; so no worries.

So there you have it. We hope from now on you won’t have any confusion. Moving on to what size backpack is considered a personal item?

What Size Backpack Is Considered A Personal Item?

Interestingly enough, there is no specific size as to what size backpack is considered a personal item? In short, it depends on which airlines you are choosing for travel. However, since it’s our job to enlighten you, the different personal Item backpack sizes are here.

American Airlines: If you are travelling in American Airlines, a backpack of up to 18 X 14 X 8 inches is a personal item for you.

Delta: This one gives you a free choice; the only catch is that your backpack must fit under the seat.

Southwest: For flying solo or with family in Southwest, we would recommend you a backpack of up to 18.5 X 13.5 X 8.5 inches as they fit under your seat.

United Airlines: A word of warning before you travel in United Airlines, keep your backpacks up to 17 X 10 X 9 inches. Unfortunately, this excludes many regular-size loads that are wider than 10inches.

Alaska: Like the Delta, Alaska also gives you a free choice on personal item backpacks. So any back that fits under your seat is a personal item.

JetBlue: Take the privilege of flying in JetBlue with personal item backpacks up to 17 X 3 X 8 inches.

Air Canada: For Air Canada, it’s surprise-surprise, up to 17 X 13 X 6 inches.

Frontier: For Frontier, the size of the personal item backpack is up to 18 X 14 X 8 inches. Otherwise, it’s considered a carry-on item.

Spirit: When flying in Spirit, you should take up to 18 X 14 X 8 inches backpacks to keep them under your seat comfortably.

Light Packing Tips For Flight Trips

Packing for flight journeys at times can be hectic and even frustrating. We always get a commotion between what to pack and what not to. Then there is this overweight fee that we also need to handle. But don’t worry if you also get stuck in such situations, because we will teach you how to pack light for your next aeroplane trip.

  1. Use a personal item size bag.
  2. Weigh your bag.
  3. Follow a packing list.
  4. Pack things you can mix & match.
  5. Don’t pack all your shoes.
  6. Wear bulky & heavy items.
  7. Don’t pack clothes.
  8. Use tech gear & Packing cubes.
  9. Bag up shoes.
  10. Pack travel-size toiletries.
  11. Pack travel towel.
  12. Pack a menstrual cup. (females)
  13. Only pack prescription medicines.
  14. Pack collapsible objects.
  15. Pack a Bluetooth keyboard instead of a laptop.
  16. Pack earphones instead of headphones.
  17. Remove unnecessary items.
  18. Pack an eReader.

See, it’s so easy to pack light.

What To Pack For A Three-day Trip Checklist

Going away for a weekend trip from Friday to Sunday will be a relatively longer vacation than a single-day trip, so you will need a lot of things to pack in your Ruigor Motion elegant and business bag. So let’s start this blog with a what to pack for a weekend trip checklist.

Packing Tips (but who needs them anyway)

Here’s something you needed to know but never asked for. So, without further adieu, here are some professional packing tips with your Ruigor Executive Duffel luxury travel bag brought to you by a not-so-professional person.

RUIGOR EXECUTIVE 10 Luxury Travel BlackPack light

This part is very crucial and obvious; you do want to pack light, whether it’s a weekend trip, a month-long vacation, or something like that. Because let us ask you, would you like to sweat while carrying a heavy backpack (probably suffer from back pain), or pack light and enjoy a lot? It’s indeed the latter.

Another essential thing is to pack in advance to know what to take and leave at home. Avoid, at the nick of time, packing as much as you can.

Pack trendy

Of course, you are heading out, so you also need to appear like you are on vacation. After all, chances like these to dress luxurious don’t come often.

A multiport charger is enough

Connecting to the first tip (pack light), if you carry all the chargers that go with your electronics, it’s going to spoil the mood. If you have many electronics, you will have difficulty finding the correct charger. Even if not, pack lighter with a multiport charger that saves a lot of space and time.

We recommend sunglasses

There’s no question about the weather these days. It can get sunny all of a sudden, especially on the beach. In that case, a pair of sunglasses will come in handy, protecting you from sunburns and, at the same time, making you look fabulous.

Weekend Getaway Ideas

Now that you have packed all the essentials, the question is where to go and what to do there. Well, the good thing is you will never run out of weekend getaway ideas in the playground of Europe. But sadly, you only have three days, and you need to sort your options, so here are the best five things to do in the country.

Get your hands on Swiss chocolate

Who doesn’t love chocolate? And when you are in Switzerland, it will be a mistake not to try their chocolate. The Swiss have been mastering the art of chocolate making for years. So now they have the best chocolates in the world, bon apatite.

See or hike the Swiss alpines

Switzerland is a mountainous country. Seeing its alpines is an opportunity you don’t want to miss. An even better option is to hike up or ski down the Alps. We guarantee that it’s an experience you will never forget.

Mouthwatering cheese fondue is a must-have

Cheese lovers rejoice as we talk about a signature Swiss delicacy. The melted cheese is a National dish. You must try your hands on. Oh, a tip, it tastes even better with meat, bread or potatoes.

Kayaking (for the thrill & fun)

Switzerland offers some of the most extreme winter and summer sports and activities, including skiing, hiking, sledding, and more. Well, kayaking is one of those best weekend getaway activities on the river. It’s indeed thrilling and fun as you row the kayak (a longboat resembling a banana in one of Swiss’s most famous towns, Interlaken.

A relaxing gondola ride

What comes next after thrill and fun is a much-needed relaxation, and what can be a better option than to go down a Gondola while seeing natural beauty. We recommend the Mt. Pilatus Gondola, Lucerne.

Conclusion

Our weekends are the best 2 or 3 days that we wait for. These days give us the time to relax and have fun with our families. There are many fun options for weekends, but a weekend trip is the best one you should select.

Want to go camping in Switzerland? You’ll love this article on backpacking for beginners!

There is no question about Switzerland being the hub of adventures. There are many activities that you will love, including hiking and skiing. However, in this blog, we will discuss backpacking camps, and if you think I have never done it before, should I try it? Then don’t worry. This blog is jam-packed with backpack camping essentials for beginners.

Beginners Guide to Backpacking

If you are just a beginner in the adventure of backpacking camp, you must be very excited, curious, or thrilled, but the biggest mistake novices make is take the first step without any guidance or advice. Doing so can lead to several issues, including unwanted injuries. But since you don’t want any of that to happen.

Here are some backpacking camp tips for beginners.

Choose An Accessible Destination

Since you are only getting started, choosing convenience rather than thrill is wise. It’s as easy as saying that if the camp is too hard, you might get a miserable experience. However, if it’s too easy, you will have more time to discover the area around your camp. That’s precisely what you want for your starting backpacking camps.

Get Essential Gear And Clothing

It’s straightforward that you need the appropriate equipment and clothing before going on a backpacking camp in Switzerland. However, it is not too much to worry about. All you need are the following things.

  1. Tent.
  2. Ruigor Icon backpack.
  3. Sleeping bag.
  4. Sleeping pad.
  5. Stove.
  6. Water.
  7. Kitchen supplies.
  8. Next-to-skin base layers.
  9. Nylon pants.
  10. T-shirts.
  11. Sun shirts.
  12. Sun hat & warm hat.
  13. Puffy vest.
  14. Fleece.
  15. Gloves.
  16. Rainwear.

See, nothing much.

Pack The Food

Even when easy, backpacking camps can get exhausting, and you will get hungry. Thus, we would recommend packing proper food. Here’s the list.

  • For dinner, we suggest all in one meal, you know, like instant noodles, etc., you get the idea.
  • For lunch, you need high-calorie protein because the day is for exploration that takes energy. Try energy bars, trail mix, bagels, jerky, dry fruit, and nuts to keep you going.
  • For breakfast, you can either go for cooked meals or breakfast bars. If you are an “I can’t think straight without my coffee.” person, we recommend instant coffee mixes.

Last-Minute Tips: Here are a few additional tips for you.

  • We will put it straight. Backpack camps are physically demanding, so you need to be fit and healthy.
  • You need to prepare your mind for any challenges, familiarize yourself with the equipment and do practice at home before heading out.
  • Know beforehand if you need any permits for the camp.
  • Let your family members know your trip plan so that they can help you quickly if you need it.
  • Pack everything as early as possible. It’s self-explanatory.
  • Last but not least, keep away from wild animals as much as you can and don’t panic if you come across one.

How Big of a Backpack Do I need For Camping?

Of course, you need a bag for backpack camping, but as for the size of your Ruigor Icon bag, it could be big or small. We don’t know. Why? Because it depends on the type of camping, you are going on. So there is no exact size of a backpack. However, let’s find out the perfect backpack for camping for you.

For day hiking: If the backpacking camp time you have set on your clock is 24 hours only, you need a small bag since all you need is food, a few layers, a first-aid kit, and water. Here we would recommend a daypack. These typically fall between 10 and 35 liters.

For weekend camping

Let’s level up and increase your camping days to two, I.e., Saturday and Sunday. So if you are also a weekend camper, say no to daypacks and get a Ruigor Icon weekend camping backpack, ideal for 1 to 3 nights in the woods.

For multi-day backpacking

Even bigger than weekend camping is multi-day backpacking, which is about 3 to 5 nights, so your bag size increases again, this time a 50 to 70 liters of an outdoor backpack for camping, which allows you to pack the extra food, layers, and backpacking gear to enjoy a multi-day camp.

For expeditions

You will need a bulky backpack for the ultimate thrill-seeking. However, here’s the catch since you are staying in the wild for more than five nights, the lighter load is a better choice. Well, you know better.

 

Best backpacking trips for beginners and experts

Beginners, novices, new persons, and experts to this adventure activity rejoice as we unveil our top 4 picks for the best backpacking trips for everyone in Switzerland.

Camping Jungfrau

The first one on our list is one of the most famous ones in Switzerland too. Camping Jungfrau is a holiday mountain park in Lauterbrunnen, the village has some of the tallest peaks in the area, and the campsite is just across from the river from chalets and cottages. So that makes reaching there and setting up your tent easy. Other than that, it offers thrilling hikes, beautiful views, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, definitely one of the best backpacking trips for beginners you shouldn’t miss.

TCS Camping Sempach

For peaceful, relaxing, and rejuvenating backpacking camp experiences, head over to TCS Camping Sempach, on the banks of the lake Sempach, which is a captivating area filled with trees and beautiful nature. Also, if you love camping trips that also allow swimming and beach volleyball, it is an ideal destination for you.

TCS Camping Bonigen – Interlaken

Let’s first talk about Interlaken for a while. In simple words, it happens to be a beautiful village between two lakes and is host to more campsites than you can imagine. Out of all of them, we chose camping Bonigen near Lake Brienz. The best part is that even if you don’t like camping, there are plenty of activity options, including hiking in Interlaken.

Camping Silvaplana

whether you are a summer lover or a winter lover, Camping Silvaplana on the north bank of Lake Silvaplana, Engadin, equally welcomes you. Popular in both seasons, here you can do windsurfing, kitesurfing, and more, but when it’s freezing, you have many skiing options. Overall, there is something for everyone here.

Conclusion

Backpack camping is another activity that can give you the thrill, challenges, and fun. Switzerland has many campsites filled with natural beauty and offers everyone something, whether a beginner, intermediate or expert. So in your vacation, instead of resting in your home, take your Ruigor Icon bag and head out for a backpacking camp adventure.
