Switzerland Holiday Gift Guide 2025
Opinionated guide to holiday gifts in Switzerland. Edition 2025
So difficult to find a good gift guide tailored for Switzerland (no Amazon.com), so here goes my own.
Apparel
Odlo I-Thermic X-Warm Base-Layer-Shirt 2.0 mit Akku
Mix between an apparel and a gadget, Odlo's thermic shirt offers the right level of warmth by using a battery, no extra layers needed.
Price: 240 CHF
Also Jacket (I-Thermic X-Warm Jacke) is available for 420 CHF.
Smartwool Classic Thermal Merino Base Layer 1/4 Zip Boxed
Price: 90 CHF
Bogner / Fire+Ice
Bogner is a premium brand that makes high-quality ski apparel that also looks fashionable, so basically anything from Bogner would make great gift, but also very very expensive.
Rossignol
Rossignol is another great ski brand, but most of its products are in a medium-price segment. Though its jackets don't look as stunning as Bogner's, it still has some iconic products like the Chamonix 1907 boots or different ski gloves:
GNL Footwear
GNL Footwear is a shoe company that produces shoes with unique horizontal cushioning support, developed by an ETH engineer. They also look great and offer Christmas gift sets. Basically Allbirds or Atoms of Switzerland.
