Cooler days, changing weather and autumn light make this a special time to be outdoors. They also make packing well all the more important.
Join The Alpinists on an autumn hike through Graubünden, ending at a remote mountain bivouac, and discover what they rely on along the way.

When you hear the words Swiss Army Knife, chances are you think of the legendary Officer's knife. And that legend continues with the Huntsman pocket knife. With the addition of scissors and a wood saw, you're ready to cut through just about anything. When it's time to go offline and off the beaten path, you'll want the Huntsman in your pocket.
For The Alpinists, a few well-chosen extras can make all the difference.
A small light. Ideally one you can hang up, for when daylight fades and the evening begins.
A paper map. It works without a signal and, sometimes, unfolding a real map is simply part of the experience.
A flask of something warm. A welcome addition when autumn temperatures start to drop.
A pocket-sized game. Something small enough to bring along and perfect for passing a long autumn evening.
A versatile tool. One compact tool that can take care of all sorts of small jobs along the way.
It’s not about packing more. It’s about packing things you’ll be glad you brought.
