This mega shopping-mall in Mendrisio, just 15 km from Lugano is THE ultimate place for good bargains. It has 160 stores and 250 well-known brand, selling everything ranging from clothing, sporting goods, home appliances. Shopping fanatics will be thrilled too find heavily slashed discounts of up to 70%!

We spent about 4 hours on a shopping spree. Vince scored some really great deals, including a sports shoes for just 30CHF, and a premium Arc’teryx winter jacket for 99CHF (The usual price was almost 400CHF) while I got some sporting clothes from Mammut for an unbelievable 20 CHF. These sort of prices are pretty much unheard of in Switzerland so you could imagine how mightily pleased we were!

I would say that the really good discounts you will find at Fox Town is mostly for sports apparels, and if you are coming from the US, maybe you might be disappointed because honestly nowhere else can beat outlet shopping in the US....
