| Hi all,
I'm heading for Zurich in a couple of months time from Singapore. Never had to use any winter clothing ever here. Sunny weather all year through. I checked the forum, didnt find anything specific in regards to winter clothing.
Anything i need to pack from here? How cold does it really get? I plan to some fair bit of trekking as well. Any tips to be prepared?
Thanks. | |

Zurich as a city doesn't get as cold as you think. You might have a spell where the temperature drops below zero but mainly it hovers around 8-10C and has this perma-grey overcastness to the city.
If you get a period of high pressure over the country you can get some really nice cold, crisp but extremely sunny days where you can see the mountains and the air is zingy fresh.
I picked up a few Winter clothes bargains from Konstanz in Germany which is around an hour from Zurich. Sometimes you can find cheaper bargains over the border and their seasonal sales seem to incorporate a larger selection of cut price clothes than the Swiss equivalents.
