Packing List for Your Stay at Kolarbyn 🌲🎒🧦🩱🩳

Here, we’ve put together some recommendations on what to bring during your time with us at Kolarbyn Eco Lodge.

Equipment for Summer

Here are some tips on clothing and gear for the summer season. For most summer activities, you’ll likely have what you need right at home.

Pack your backpack with:

• Underwear (avoid cotton)
• Wool socks (bring extra pairs in case they get wet)
• Pants and shirt
• Long pants, windproof and roomy
• Rubber boots or hiking boots
• Windproof, spacious jacket
• Rain gear
• Water bottle
• Sweater for breaks
• Hat, gloves, and base layer (for cold nights)
• Flashlight/headlamp
• Toiletries
• Powerbank
• Mobile phone – for taking photos
• Swimwear
• Towel
• Snacks

Feel free to reach out if you need help with gear for your stay!

Equipment for Winter

For a comfortable winter experience, we recommend avoiding cotton next to the skin, as it cools when it gets damp. Windproof outerwear is also important.

Here’s how you can dress and pack for winter:

• Wool/synthetic underwear (avoid cotton)
• Wool/synthetic base layer (bring an extra set)
• Thin wool/synthetic socks (plus extras in case they get wet)
• Wool socks (pack extra pairs)
• Shell jacket or anorak with a hood
• Unlined ski pants
• Sweater or shirt
• Windproof mittens, ideally with removable wool liners (mittens are warmer than gloves)
• Hat (bring an extra one to sleep in)
• Insulating layers like a down jacket or thick sweater, wind pants
• Lined rubber boots or winter boots (ideally mid-high or high to keep snow out)
• Thermos for warm drinks (stay hydrated; cold weather dehydrates)
• Backpack if you plan on an outing
• Flashlight/headlamp
• Toiletries
• Powerbank
• Mobile phone – for taking photos
• Swimwear
• Towel
• Snacks

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about equipment – we’re happy to help!
