On 3rd October 2012, Glisshop moved from the bustling Avenue du Roussillon in Aubière, France, to a more spacious location just a few hundred metres away. Naturally, the team felt a twinge of nostalgia leaving the original store where the adventure began, but it didn’t take long to settle into the new spot.
The current Glisshop store is far more functional and now caters to all mountain and outdoor sports enthusiasts, with dedicated corners for each activity:
A shop for alpine skiing, snowboarding, ski touring, and cross-country skiing:
The Clermont-Ferrand store showcases the latest collections of snowboards and skis, along with ski boots and snowboard boots, to meet the needs of all winter sports enthusiasts. There is even a dedicated boot fitting area in partnership with Sidas, a brand specialising in foot comfort technologies. Thanks to a 3D analysis system, you can find the perfect fit for your feet. Glisshop also offers heat moulding for your liners and insoles, ensuring a perfect fit in your ski boots or snowboard boots.
Glisshop also offers a premium selection of ski touring equipment and boots designed for backcountry skiing and deep powder adventures. With over 150 ski touring models and more than 110 ski mountaineering boots available, you can try them on and have them heat-moulded in-store all year round.
