Buying ski equipment at the height of the season will not be too profitable. However, the range of these products is very wide, especially for snowboards. There are all kinds of equipment for any size and budget. But if the main thing for you is the benefit, then you need to come to Davos for sports equipment in the off-season. The best period for this is May-June. At that time, there are the lowest prices for things from collections that have become irrelevant.

This is especially true if you come out of season or found some kind of marriage. You can pay both Swiss francs and euros. Note that despite the fact that the Euro is more expensive than the franc, in many shops for tourists the rate will be one to one. So the payment in the pan-European currency is not particularly profitable. A bar or two of local chocolate would be a budget option. Despite the fact that cocoa beans were not grown in Switzerland, it was in this country that for the first time managed to create a solid … Read further
