Save at the Designer Landquart Fashion Outlet
Designer Outlet Landquart is one of the newest and classiest factory outlet shopping malls in Switzerland. Shoppers enjoy huge savings in nearly a hundred shops on over 160 designer labels – many are top Swiss or European fashion brands.
Designer Outlet Landquart follows the typical European factory stores concept. Rather than an enclosed shopping mall, the shops here are grouped like in a village without covered walkways between boutiques. The shops line a central street or long market square with parking lots at either end.

Swiss Souvenir and Home Wear Savings at Landquart Outlet Mall
The home and living stores at Designer Outlet Landquart are of interest not only to locals. Sure, good deals are available on pots and pans, glasses, cutlery, and duvet covers, but many of the brands here also offer smaller items that make much more useful Swiss souvenirs than miniature cowbells or plastic cuckoo clocks produced in Asia.
WMF has many stainless steel items while Kuhn Rikon has some of the finest fondue sets in Switzerland. Further brands include Bassetti, Le Creuset, Möve, Tefal, Schlossberg, and Villeroy & Boch.
Restaurants at Designer Outlet Landquart
Eating and drinking at outlet malls are often disappointing. However, like the fashion labels at Designer Outlet Landquart, the restaurants here are above average too. The main restaurant is Margaux, which offers quality food usually not expected at outlet malls, and Five Guys burgers for fast food.
Unfortunately, the prices at the restaurants are Swiss standards, not outlet bargains. Further food options include various kiosks, an ice cream parlor, and smaller snacks and meals at the Gondola Cafe or Starbucks.
Kägi and Lindt have outlet stores with bargains on Swiss chocolates. Outside the mall itself, near the entrance to Landquart train station, is Ivan’s Bündner Spezialitäten de Luxe, which sells local specialty products from the Graubünder region of eastern Switzerland.
Opening Hours of the Designer Outlet Landquart
Rather rarely for Switzerland (and the rest of the German-speaking world), the shops of the Designer Outlet Landquart are open on Sundays and most public holidays. Opening hours are every day of the week from 10 am to 7 pm.
Non-Swiss residents could ask for the tax back claim forms at any participating shop. Follow the procedure to claim back some tax when leaving Switzerland. Sales tax in Switzerland is only 8% making the administrative procedure only worth it for larger purchases.
Transportation to the Designer Outlet Landquart
Getting to the Designer Outlet Landquart , Tardisstrasse 20a, 7302 Landquart, Switzerland is very easy by car or train. The factory stores mall is directly next to the Landquart train station and the A13 autobahn.
From the Autobahn A13, use exit 14 for Landquart. The Designer Outlet mall is directly next to the highway and well-signposted. Driving time is around an hour from Zürich or St Gallen and much faster from Chur, Liechtenstein, Kloster, and Davos.
Parking (charged) is available at either end of the shopping mall village. On warm, or snowy days, it may be worth driving past the outlet mall and using the parking Süd (south), which has some parking spaces undercover.
During expansion construction works, some of the parking lots may be temporarily closed. Follow local directions to temporary lots from where free shuttle buses are available every ten minutes.
Free return train tickets are available to some shoppers. If arriving by train on the Räthische Bahn (i.e. trains from the south in the Graubünden region, not north or west on Swiss Railways SBB) and spending more than CHF100 at the outlet mall, the return train trip is for free. The original one-way train ticket to Landquart must be stamped at the Centre Information Desk for this to be valid.
The Designer Outlet Landquart is a great stop when en route to the mountain areas of Graubünden (Grison) in eastern Switzerland. The classy boutiques of Chur, Klosters, Davos, and St Moritz won’t have these attractive prices.
Travelers en route to Tessin and Italy should also consider shopping at Foxtown Outlet Mall near Lugano just a few minutes from the Swiss-Italian border. This may well be the best shopping in Switzerland – the high numbers of tour buses and cars with Milan number plates parked here are a good omen that both the prices and fashion on offer are right.
