Bringing U.S. Style Tailgating to Switzerland: Outdoor Adventures with WeatherTech
In the wide valleys and snow-brushed peaks of Switzerland, a new tradition is parking itself beside alpine lakes and stadiums alike, and that's American-style tailgating! Where community, sport, and outdoor joy meet in a symphony of sizzling grills and hearty laughter. Whether you're rallying for FC Zürich, enjoying open-air concerts, or making base camp for a mountain hike, tailgating transforms your vehicle into the heart of the action. With WeatherTech car accessories, your Swiss tailgate turns from simple gathering to full-blown outdoor experience, with American durability and Swiss efficiency united.
Make Your Truck the Hero of the Event
A successful tailgating adventure always starts with your truck, beginning first with your truck bed, the centre stage for your tailgate setup. With WeatherTech’s ImpactLiner and even tougher TechLiners truck bed protectors, you can throw in the grill, coolers, folding chairs, and even a portable gazebo without a second thought. Built to resist spills, scratches, and grime, these liners handle everything from bratwursts to soccer balls with style.
Even if your weekend wagon isn’t a full-size pickup, CargoTech Organisers ensure that everything stays in place—be it picnic supplies, kids’ gear, or a bottle of local Swiss white chilling for après-game toasts. There’s nothing more annoying than seeing all your stuff, shooting all around the place in the back of your truck!
Keep the Elements on the Outside
Swiss weather can turn on a franc, from morning sunshine to afternoon down-pours. But with Side Window Deflectors, Mud Flaps, and Hood Protectors, WeatherTech helps you fight back. Crack the windows to let the grill smoke drift away, even in the rain. Keep the muck of alpine roads off your vehicle’s finish. Deflect gravel and wind as you cruise towards your favourite outdoor arena.
Family-Friendly & Pet-Ready
Tailgating is a family affair, and that includes the four-legged fans too. With WeatherTech Seat Protectors, you won’t worry about muddy paws, sticky fingers, or melted raclette mishaps. Easy to install and remove, they guard your upholstery while keeping your interior picnic-ready. They are easy to clean and dirt and bacteria resistant, you can clean them off and the rest of your car with WeatherTechs Cabin Cleaner. Got a dog in the mix?
WeatherTech’s Pet Barriers and Safety Harnesses make sure your furry MVP is secure and comfortable while the party rolls on. Our pet harnesses can also be attached to seat belts with ease.
Grab some other great gear too!
You don’t just need the bigger pieces of equipment, sometimes the smaller things can change everything, transporting food and drinks is an important part of travel trips and fun, we at WeatherTech recommend grabbing a Yeti Cooler to keep all your drinks and snacks cool, they come in a range of sizes and can accommodate enough food and drink to feed the whole squad!
Grab a compact Tundra, a mid-range Roadie or the big boy Tundra Haul, Yeti coolers are a staple of summertime American life and they perform well in order to achieve this status! To dole out those ice cold drinks you'll need reliable drinks cups, and utilizing a reusable version is always a good idea.
Stanley cups have been a solid trendy go to for years now, there is the Stanley Ice Flow Flip Straw - which will fit well in car cup holders, the AeroLight Transit Mug - which is smaller and more compact, and the original Stanley Quencher that started it all.
From the Stadium to the Summit
Tailgating isn’t just for game days. In Switzerland, where every village hosts a festival and every mountain trail leads to a postcard view, your car is the gateway to adventure. Whether you're tailgating before a hockey match in Bern, hosting a lakeside brunch in Lucerne, or prepping gear for a family hike in amongst the mountains of Valais, WeatherTech’s accessories turn your vehicle into a reliable companion—organised, protected, and always ready to roll.
From cowbells to football chants, Switzerland knows how to celebrate. With WeatherTech, you can bring American tailgate spirit to every Swiss outing. Protect your ride, prep your gear, and hit the road knowing you're equipped for whatever nature, or the parking lot throws your way!
