La Sportiva opened its first flagship store, located in the city of Arco, Italy. The store, at Segantini 13, the main street of Arco city, measures 100 square meters and is run by a collaboration with the staff of Vertical Sport from Arco.
“The relationship that exists between the town of Arco and La Sportiva goes back a long way and has marked the history of climbing as we know it today,” La Sportiva said in a statement. “Back in 1987, feeling the area’s climbing potential, La Sportiva dedicated one of the first climbing guides in the area to Arco’s climbing crags.”
“Arco is today the obvious choice for La Sportiva’s first flagship store: the shop is a reference point for mountain lovers from near and far, considering the international appeal of Arco’s city centre and its surrounding mountains,” said La Sportiva.
