You guys, this place it awesome- it`s really an outlet. And…read morefor Zürich prices, this is as cheap as it gets! They have new and gently used gear, clothes, and shoes- for Christmas or every day, this is the store to choose! I got new hiking boots for only 59 Franks, elsewhere was at least 200, for that I`m giving thanks! The snowshoe selection downstairs had new and slightly used, but not enough sizes from which I could choose. But I`ll totally come back, for warm or active wear, it`s just the coolest store with prices beyond compare!

My wife described this as halfway between an REI and an LL Bean, and I think she's got it about…read moreright. The gear selection mirrors REI well, but there's a fuller clothing line, especially at the more casual end --- and I still haven't figured out the kid's fishing pool. A touch of Cabela's, perhaps? The staff is helpful, and will happily break out their (sometimes rusty) English if need be. We mostly shopped in German, but once you start looking for books in English the conversations tend to follow suit. Picked up a new hostel liner for hut-to-hut hikes, didn't find the book we hoped for, and figure I'll be back next time I need some ski gloves.

The famous Swiss store for mountain equipment is a good address if you're into outdoors activities…read more In the last few years I bought some jackets, t-shirts, head lamp etc... and I'm quite happy with the quality of these products. In the Zurich store I recently bought a winter jackets and some snow boots. The service was simply great. The staff there always have a smile in their face, which is quite important for me when I go shopping, and they took the time to answer my questions. One thing I've appreciated is the tips the lady gave me in order to make a choice easier. At the end I chose a jacket which suited my needs and was cheaper then the model I had look previously. If they don't have your size they will simply order it without any obligation from your side to buy the item. It's true that Mammut clothing and equipment are not cheap but I think it's still worth the money. The store is also very well located near the Zurich HB on the Löwenstrasse. It can be reached within 2 minutes.

I walk in the main door, get distracted by crampons (see picture), turn right, and freeze: The boot…read moreselection at Bächli looks incredibly massive, biggest I've ever seen. I walk over and start looking through. Lowa Vertial GTX, nice. Then a Lowa Vertical GTX. Next up, Lowa Vertical GTX. Waitaminute... Looks like they put every size of boot out. Maybe even every color. I take a second look around the boot selection --- it's a full run of Lowa (from serious mountaineering to around-campus), and a few other things. Good, but no longer staggering. Back around the store. Check out the down sleeping bags and Klettersteig (Via Ferrata) gear, breeze through the quickdraws and stoppers in the climbing section, and pick up a canister of butane for my stove, and a grip trainer for my forearms. Overall, it feels a little like a smallish REI --- with the entire shoe stock on the floor.
