The Italian Oberalp Group has opened a Salewa store in Verona on April 9. The 120-square-meter shop is located at Via Cappello 41, within walking distance of the Romeo and Juliet balcony, a well-known destination for Veronese and tourists alike. The store is designed both for mountain enthusiasts who expect technical and personalized service and for new customers looking for outdoor experiences, the company said. The new store is the Oberalp Group’s 32nd store in Italy and its 59th in Europe. Verona is strategically located near Monte Baldo, the Lessini Mountains and the Eastern Alps.
