When preparing for a motorhome trip to Scandinavia, one of the advantages is the freedom to pack without worrying too much about space limitations. This is particularly helpful, especially for those who like to be well-prepared for every occasion (ladies, I see you! 😉). On a more serious note, this guide will focus on what clothing to pack for a trip to Scandinavia, along with a few additional essentials.
No matter the time of year, it’s essential to bring the right clothing for your trip to Scandinavia. The weather in northern Europe can be unpredictable, so it’s crucial to focus on warm and weatherproof items. Your packing list should include a reliable, warm rain jacket to protect you from both rain and wind, along with gloves, a thick hat, and warm socks. A cozy sweater or fleece jacket is also a must. Don’t forget warm and comfortable footwear, as Scandinavia offers breathtaking hiking opportunities, and you’ll want to be properly equipped to enjoy the views.
Another key item is a set of thermal underwear. Even in the summer, temperatures can drop to around 0°C at night, so it’s best to layer your clothing and adapt to the conditions. In addition to clothes, it’s worth packing an extra sleeping bag and blankets for the motorhome to ensure a cozy night’s sleep, even in colder conditions.
Here’s a list of essential items for your trip to Scandinavia:
- Lightweight rain jacket with membrane
- Cap or buff band
- 2 pairs of gloves (thicker and thinner)
- Long trekking trousers
- Shorts
- Fleece jacket (100 and 200 thickness)
- Long sleeve shirt
- 4 T-shirts (long and short sleeve)
- Thermal underwear (top and bottom)
- 5 pairs of socks and underwear
- Trekking shoes and sturdy sandals
- Large backpack and smaller daypack
