In Spring we still ski and the weather is warmer but on a windy day the wind chill can still make it colder. It can also be warm so bring layers that you can peel off when the sun comes out. For Summer, bring swim wear, wind jacket and a warmer hoodie and jumper. Pants for trekking and extra socks. Long sleeved shirts are great to protect against any bugs or mosquitos. For all seasons, bring a small day back-pack. Also think of a camera bag.
