Clothes in July and for Jungfraujoch
A traveler from Edinburgh is heading to Interlaken on Monday and is uncertain about whether to pack winter clothes for a trip to Jungfraujoch, especially due to forecasted thunderstorms. They've already packed summer dresses but are considering adding rain gear and seeking advice on clothing for high-altitude weather.
- Make sure to pack warmer clothes like fleece jumpers and hats for the Jungfrau as temperatures drop significantly at altitude.
- Waterproof and non-slip footwear is essential for walking in the snow, so tennis shoes might not be enough.
- Don't forget sunglasses and suncream as the sun can be intense, even in colder temperatures.
- Consider the Swiss Travel Pass for convenient travel options to Jungfraujoch and other attractions.

We stayed in Wengen last July/August and I spent most of the time in t-shirts and shorts/cropped trousers with skirts/dresses for hotel and local.
However when going up the Jungfrau you will definitely need warmer clothes. We (myself, my husband and 3 strapping 6’+ sons) started in trousers & t-shirts/long sleeve tops and added fleece jumpers as we went up, by the time we were at the top we had added hats and in some cases gloves, body warmers/gilets or jackets. Most importantly we had sunglasses and suncream – forget them at your peril! We wore waterproof trekking type trainers/walking shoes which again we were very grateful for when we were playing in the snow – non-slip shoes are essential.
Hello thanks for your response as I am leaving in the morning I do have trainers will these be suitable? What about the altitude did you suffer sickness and I take a blood pressure tablet and unsure weather I can make the trip do you have to travel to the top or stop half way for example I will be staying at the Hotel Du Lac and will ask if they provide jackets as I am travelling alone and do not want to carry heavy clothes I have the dresses and high heels for evening in my hotel and casual dresses and smart walking shoes for day time wear.
Thanks once again
