In the coming weeks you will have two opportunities to breathe a second life into mountain sports equipment: on October 20th and 21st the Chur mountain flea market will take place in the Titthof in Chur and on November 1st the Alpin-Flohmi will take place in Bern.
Whether Chur or Bern – the idea behind the two flea markets for outdoor sports is the same: to make a concrete contribution to resource protection and greater sustainability through the secondary use of mountain sports equipment.
Athletes are often and directly confronted with the consequences of climate change on alpine tours. Platforms on which you can shop sustainably are all the more important.
