    hi,

    No special clothes are needed for the walks you listed, apart from some good water resistant shoes or boots. Personally, I prefer boots because I need ankle support. You should have some decent wet weather gear such as a goretex jacket and over pants. If the sun is out, it can get a bit hot, so I usually wear shorts and a long sleeve shirt as well as a hat. The type of pants that have the zip-off legs are very useful. In my day pack I carry a fleece vest in case the weather turns cold and a folding umberella. I’ve experienced snow at Bachalpsee in July, so be prepared for changeble weather.

    Hope this helps
