 Boots: comfortable, lightweight, broken-in boots, with ankle support and a good grip on the soles, essential due to the rocky terrain that you will encounter throughout the trail

 Waterproofs: breathable waterproof jacket and trousers are essential even in the summer

 Clothing: a wicking base layer, fleece mid-layer and an insulated outer

 Hat and gloves: highly recommended, even in the summer

 Sun hat, lipsalve, suncream and sunglasses: a lot of the high plateaus of the Jura are exposed, with limited cover from the sun

 Trekking poles: lightweight telescopic trekking poles are extremely useful to help to redistribute some of the load on the upper body and reduce the impact on the knees.

Maps

The Swiss have produced very detailed online mapping, considered to be some of the best in the world, that can be downloaded to electronic devices and used offline. Some platforms provide it free of charge, for example Switzerland Mobility, an online free tool to find hikes, bikes, paddles, ski tours and snowshoeing throughout the country. Public rights of way can be discovered, alongside recommended routes.
