Hi I will be in Switzerland from 23 to 28 December 2019. I would like to know which kind of shoes I should buy.

I have also heard that ice grips could be inserted in the sole in order to prevent from slipping. I would like to know where I can buy ice grips/studs in Switzerland.

Hello Veena,

Nice to hear you’ll be spending Christmas in Switzerland!

It is winter time in December, although currently the temperatures are not too low (at least for a Swiss!)

In the mountains you will definitely have snow and want to ware warm, solid footware, whereas in the cities you will be fine with a little less. You don’t say what your plans are.

In any case, get more input on the topic in these forum threads:

Best and enjoy your time in Switzerland.

Hi Steph

Thanks for your reply. I intend to buy a Swiss Travel Pass and to visit the mountains.
