Suggested Clothing and Personal Items
Pack in a suitcase you can carry. Remember your day bag with packed lunch and a drink for the bus.
This is what we recommend you bring for a 5 day course. Please bear in mind that
a Lagganlia Experience can (and probably will!) be a wet and muddy one at times.
Don’t pack your best, smartest and newest gear!
- At least three warm ‘tops’ (fleeces or woollen jumpers) . …….
- At least three pairs of loose fitting warm trousers (track suit or jogging bottoms but not jeans)............................ ……
- Casual clothing for evening use and disco wear.................................... ……
- Underwear .................................................................... ……
- Shorts (summer) ........................................................... ……
- Socks (at least 3 thick pairs) ......................................... ……
- Training shoes (2 pairs, the grubbier the better) ............ ……
- Slippers or something to wear inside the Centre ........... .…..
- Gloves & hat (Lagganlia provide these but another set is always useful)
- Pair of wellies (not essential)………………………………….
- Pyjamas ........................................................................ …..
- Swimming costume ....................................................... …..
- Vacuum flask and a container for juice (essential) .. …..
- Lunch Box to fit in rucksack (essential).............................

- Sun Cream & Insect repellent ………………………(available at the Centre shop)
- Plastic bag for taking home any clothes that are still wet…..
- Torch (so that we can do night orienteering)…. ............. ……
In the ski season life becomes more complicated. All of the above should still be
packed because there is always a possibility that it is impossible to ski and an
alternative programme will need to be followed. The following additional items
should be packed:
- Salopettes or ski pants ...........(or very warm trousers, no need to go to great expense)
- Warm anorak or ski jacket………………………………………
- Long thermal underwear ……………(or extra pyjamas that could be worn instead)
- Ski goggles and lip salve (both are available from the shop).
- Sun cream………………………………………………………..
We advise those embarking upon a course at Lagganlia to try to provide as many
personal items from the above lists as possible. All technical outdoor clothing and
equipment is provided by the Centre.
