I don't know about the heart of summer but starting at the end of August make sure you have a warm jacket and maybe even gloves if you go to the top of a mountain.
Dont' forget camcorders or cameras, the views are fanstastic. Leave a Comment

If you are heading up to Gornergrat or any place else with higher altitude, make sure you dress warm enough even in summer. I was fine, in August, with a fleece pullover and a light windbreaker. Hiking boots with treads are a good idea if you are doing any hiking or even if you're not in event the pavement is slick. Sunglasses and a hat might be useful as well.
Several people mentioned sunscreen but so little of me was exposed that I didn't feel I needed it. But if you are hiking and plan on spending several hours outside, it's a good idea as you burn easier at higher altitudes. Leave a Comment

Wheels on bags are preferable, although most hotels will pick you up at the train station if you call them.
Wool and synthetics are ideal. Cotton will be useless if it is cold and you get wet. Sunblock is essential as is eye protection and a hat. Gloves and windproof/waterproof outer gear are most desirable since the weather can change at any time, especially at the high elevations.
Aspirin might be desirable due to the high altitude. Some people have difficulty adjusting, and headaches can occur.
Absolutely bring a camera.
Trekking poles or a walking stick will help.
If riding the Gornergrat train or one of the cable cars, bring a map showing the route so you can know your options along the way. Leave a Comment
