Whatever the weather – trail running in Switzerland

One moment it’s glorious golden sunshine, the next it’s grey and raining – in autumn you need to be prepared for all conditions on your adventures. The ever-changing weather can make it tricky to choose the right clothes. If you start in mild temperatures in the valley, the icy wind may already be whistling at the summit. And, let’s face it, you’re likely to work up a sweat on the ascent. There's one thing that’s guaranteed to help: the tried-and-tested layering system. To make sure you're well-equipped, adidas TERREX has created our Adventure Wardrobe just in time for the colder months. This way, you’re perfectly equipped for rapid weather changes and can enjoy the great outdoors in all conditions.

When you’re trail running, it’s especially important to travel light on the trails. As you climb into the hills, your heart rate speeds up, your breath quickens, your body heats up and you feel the fresh, cool air in your lungs. When you reach the top, you take a deep, satisfying breath – but before long you’ll be pleased you packed that extra layer. Luckily, the Adventure Wardrobe tops are designed especially for outdoor sports, so you won't have to carry a heavy load.

The adidas Adventure Wardrobe offers complete comfort, built up in four layers. The base layer keeps you dry thanks to the use of merino wool, which absorbs moisture and feels pleasant on the skin. The middle layer boasts fleece inserts, which keep you warm but are also breathable. When it gets even colder, the insulation layer comes to the rescue: made from PrimaLoft synthetic fibre, this clothing is particularly light and warm, even when wet. If it gets really cold, then add an outer layer to protect you from rain and wind. The great thing about the layering system is that if you get too warm, the individual layers can be quickly taken off – and put back on again. Our tops and jackets are designed to be light and convenient and therefore your ideal outdoor companions. So, you're ready for any adventure – whatever your summit, you're good to go.

You can climb plenty of summits while trail running in Switzerland, and this Collection showcases eight Tours that will take you to new heights. You’ll discover beautiful mountain lakes in the Appenzell region, follow in Heidi and Peter’s footsteps on the Pizol, climb the Dent du Broc and the Fuorcla Surlej, and explore the numerous trails around Aarau. As should be expected when trail running in Switzerland, all of the routes offer you fantastic views over the picturesque mountain landscapes. You’ll also gain a good few metres in altitude. With our layers you’ll be well prepared for the changing temperatures, and the only surprises will be the breathtaking landscapes that you’ll be exploring on your runs.
