When it comes to magical winter escapes, Switzerland easily tops the list. Snow-capped Alps, cozy chalets, frozen lakes, and world-class ski resorts make it the perfect destination for anyone craving snow, serenity, and style. This winter, I embarked on a 10-day vacation through Switzerland’s most iconic regions — from Zermatt to Lucerne — soaking in every snowflake, sip of hot cocoa, and scenic train ride.
But just as important as where I went was what I wore. Cold weather travel requires smart packing — and that’s where Stussy came into play. From exploring alpine towns to après-ski lounging, my Stussy hoodie became the winter MVP of my wardrobe. Stylish, warm, and easy to pair, it handled every Swiss adventure like a pro.
Here’s a look into my unforgettable winter vacation in Switzerland — and how Stussy helped me do it in effortless style.
Day 1–3: Zermatt — Mountains, Matterhorn, and Modern Streetwear
My winter journey began in Zermatt, a car-free resort town nestled at the foot of the Matterhorn, one of the most famous peaks in the world. Arriving by train, I was greeted by falling snow and wooden chalets twinkling with fairy lights. The cold was crisp but refreshing, and my Stussy hoodie was the ideal outerwear for a casual first stroll around town.
On day two, I hit the slopes. Though I rented ski gear, I wore my Stussy thermal base layers underneath, which kept me warm without the bulk. After hours of snowboarding, I unwound at an outdoor bar with a view of the Matterhorn — wrapped in my oversized Stussy hoodie, sipping mulled wine as the sun dipped behind the Alps.
Zermatt’s après-ski culture is a vibe, and even though many wore designer puffers, I got compliments on my laid-back yet stylish streetwear. Stussy might be rooted in surf and skate culture, but its versatility shines even in the snow.
Day 4–5: Interlaken — Frozen Lakes and Cozy Cafés
Next up was Interlaken, the gateway to the Jungfrau region and one of the most picturesque towns I’ve ever seen. Between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, Interlaken in winter feels like a snow globe brought to life.
On the train ride there, I lounged comfortably in a black Stussy hoodie, layered under a down jacket. Its plush cotton interior made it the coziest option for long train rides and early morning walks.
Highlights of Interlaken included:
- Riding the Harder Kulm funicular for panoramic views.
- Ice skating on a frozen lake.
- Warming up in local cafés with Swiss hot chocolate.
In each of these moments, Stussy fit right in. In a world of flashy ski suits, there was something effortlessly cool about keeping things simple, warm, and authentic.
Day 6–7: Grindelwald and the Jungfraujoch — Top of Europe
No trip to Switzerland is complete without visiting the Jungfraujoch, known as the “Top of Europe.” I stayed in Grindelwald, a charming alpine village surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the country.
Before heading to the summit, I layered up: thermal leggings, snow pants, and my trusty Stussy hoodie under a waterproof shell. Even at over 11,000 feet, it kept me warm and stylish as I explored the Aletsch Glacier, Europe’s longest glacier.
Later that evening, back in Grindelwald, I swapped ski gear for joggers and my favorite Stussy hoodie again, heading out to a fondue dinner. There’s something about pairing streetwear with a snowy mountain backdrop that just works — understated, warm, and iconic.
Day 8–9: Lucerne — Storybook Views and Winter Walks
After the heights of the Alps, I traveled north to Lucerne, a lakeside city full of medieval charm. The iconic Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge), snow-dusted rooftops, and Christmas markets made this one of the coziest spots of the trip.
Here, I went full comfort mode: jeans, beanie, sneakers, and yes — another Stussy hoodie (this time, a gray pullover with the classic logo). Whether wandering along the lake, shopping for Swiss watches, or sipping coffee at a riverside bistro, my Stussy style was equal parts practical and fashion-forward.
Lucerne’s fashion leaned more urban than alpine, so my hoodie actually helped me blend right in. It’s amazing how global Stussy’s reach is — from LA streets to Swiss cobblestone alleys, the look always lands.
Day 10: Zurich — City Vibes with Streetwear Edge
My final day was spent in Zurich, Switzerland’s largest city. Cold, elegant, and buzzing with style, Zurich was the perfect place to wrap up the trip. I visited art galleries, did some final shopping, and even grabbed a few more Stussy pieces at a local boutique.
Wearing a layered Stussy hoodie, cargo pants, and high-top sneakers, I explored the Bahnhofstrasse, sipped espresso at Café Sprüngli, and soaked in the winter cityscape. Zurich felt more metropolitan, and Stussy transitioned effortlessly from outdoor-ready warmth to urban-cool confidence.
Why Stussy Works for Winter Travel
After 10 days across mountains, lakes, and cities, here’s why Stussy ended up being my winter travel essential:
1. Layer-Friendly Design
Stussy hoodies are easy to wear under larger coats or on their own for milder winter days. They’re not too bulky but offer the right amount of warmth.
2. Style That Translates
While Swiss fashion leans classic and tailored, streetwear is alive and well — especially among younger travelers. A Stussy hoodie is recognizable without being flashy, making it the perfect style statement across regions.
3. Comfort is King
Whether it was a long train ride or a casual dinner, comfort was a top priority. Stussy’s soft, breathable materials made it easy to move, relax, and layer without compromise.
Final Thoughts: Winter in Switzerland, Done Right
Switzerland in winter is pure magic — from the Matterhorn to the Jungfrau, from ski towns to urban escapes. But as every traveler knows, being comfortable and confident in your outfit makes the experience even better.
Stussy proved to be the ultimate winter companion. With just a couple of Stussy hoodies and a few mix-and-match basics, I stayed warm, stylish, and ready for every adventure that came my way.
So if you’re planning your own Swiss winter getaway, don’t overlook the power of smart fashion. Pack layers, choose comfort, and maybe toss in your favorite Stussy hoodie — because true style doesn’t take a vacation.
