Chamonna Linard, Switzerland: what it is and when to go

What it is and where

It is one of the Mountains and Hiking places in Switzerland. In Kokai it is already on your trip map next to the places you save yourself, and it goes into a day's plan with one tap.

When to go

The best time to visit Chamonna Linard is July to September, and the season is short because it sits at 2,327 m: above 1,800 m there is snow until June and it returns in October.

In June there are 15 h 38 of daylight, and in December, 8 h 22. Daylight hours are calculated from the site's latitude for the 15th of each month; when planning a full day on foot they matter as much as the weather.

It is not the same trip whatever you come for: Chamonna Linard has a different season depending on what you want to do here, and Kokai puts it in the right month for you.

When to go to Switzerland in general, with its festivals and peak seasons, is in its country guide.

Before you go to Switzerland

To enter Switzerland there are 7 things to sort out before you leave, starting with “Valid Spanish ID card (DNI) or passport”: they are all, with their deadlines, in the Switzerland checklist. Currency: Swiss franc (CHF); plugs: Type J · 230 V · 50 Hz (the European type C fits; the three-pin Schuko doesn't); emergencies: 112 · 117 police · 144 ambulance · 1414 air rescue (Rega).

In Kokai you tick off the checklist inside your trip, and each item reminds you when it is time to do it.
