How it all began – our idea of the perfect action sports store
1992 Two friends got together over some beers and decided to open the first snowboard & action sports store in Crans-montana. Both just out of school, ready to take on the world, they got some of the finest brands together and opened Avalanche Pro Shop in the heart of the Swiss Alps.
Growing from 2 founders to a store with 30 years of experience and lots of happy friends
The Future of Avalanche Pro Shop – nothing will stop us
Dave Albrecht and his team welcome you

I was referred to Avalanche by a ski shop when looking for snowboarding boots for purchase. Dave was beyond helpful and patient. He's fluent in English and French (maybe more?) and was a pleasure to work with. I tried on about 8 pairs of boots and was there for maybe 2+ hours. I can't recommend Avalanche enough, we will definitely return for our gear purchases in the future! Can't wait to test out my new boots. Thanks Dave! :) - 1/14/2025

Had been renting snowboards from them for the last 2-3 years and also got some gear from them. Bought my own snowboard and went in again this year because I got my pants stuck in the step on mechanism of my board. The guy at the shop (think his name was Dave?) was so kind as to help me resolve the issue! Thank you for the wonderful service for the past 3-4 ski seasons in Crans Montana! - 1/03/2025

Magasin top; mardi 31.12.24 alors que c'est l'heure de fermer, le patron me répare mon soulier de rando avec le sourire, des blagues, de la bonne humeur. En pleines vacances où c'est bourré de monde, ça fait super plaisir d'être reçu ainsi. Merci, bonne année et je recommande à fond. - 12/31/2024

Bike saved by Avalanche bike shop Bad start to the vacation if you screw up the front brake of your bike. Luckily there is the outstanding service from Avalanche bike shop in Montana. The owner is extremely knowledgeable, speaks perfect English (and French, German, ) and was super helpful. Not only did he fix my bike, he gave us lots of advice on where to ride and where to hike. I could not ask for a better experience. Highly recommend. - 9/19/2024
