Swiss Store - Ouray, Colorado

I had a good experience here. The owners are kind and their products are unique. The owner will tell you back-stories to all the trinkets in the store if you ask/show genuine interest.

I spent about an hour talking to one of the owners, who explained her 25 year experience living in Ouray, how it has changed, challenges with tourists and new locals moving there, the history of the area, etc. Overall a really lovely time stopping in this cute little store!

I was in this shop with my 3 children and my friend and her two children. First of all, the woman working there encouraged my kids to play with the toys. There is hardly anything in this store. A few stuffed animals, some Swiss chocolate and two German clocks. My 10 year old daughter picked up some Swiss chocolate because she wanted me to buy it. It accidentally dropped on the floor. The packaging wasn’t damaged and we put it back in the bowl. We were looking around and the woman working there accused my daughter of openening the chocolate and eating it. She said you broke it you buy it. My daughter used her own money to pay for it. Once we got out of the store my daughter was in tears. I didn’t really realize what was happening in the store. My daughter told me and she said she didn’t even do it. My daughter would never open the chocolate and eat it. The package of chocolate we “bought” was opened and had a piece missing. It wasn’t even the same chocolate package my daughter picked up. I feel like this woman wanted my kids to touch the items in the store so she could accuse them of breaking it so we would have to pay for it. I ended up giving my daughter back the money for the chocolate. I wanted to go back and tell her off but my friend encouraged me not to for fear that she would then say”oh you were in here and now there’s something missing.” It was a very strange experience. I do not advise going in there.

The owners are very kind and generous Swiss natives that have been in Ouray for 26 years. They have well crafted gifts and sweet delicate treats that are perfect for the holidays. They have these amazing stuffed animals made of alpaca that were so popular they were barely on the shelves. Lots of great children’s gifts that ranged from beautiful puzzles to creative building blocks. Highly recommend visiting this store and see what they have in stock. They are very limited but the quality is second to none. They have import a lot of their products so really they always have something new. Thank you so much for your hospitality and charming store!

The couple are delightful and kind. The store offers quality wooden toys, beautiful Swiss-German ornaments, and a plethora of other high-end items. I bought two ornaments for friends and a wooden puzzle that features 6 scenes (one on each side of the blocks when assembled correctly). They gave me chocolates (wouldn’t let me pay for them) for myself and each of my family members! So kind. Go!

Won’t allow service dogs in. She’s fine discriminating against disabled people. Can we please just get some decent people in this world again…?

A very unique store with toys, german beer glasses and other European oddities. Definitely worth checking out! The owners are incredibly kind and helpful, while also explaining the history of items.

Beautiful, high-quality gifts here. I keep going back for the European chocolates, some of the best chocolates I've ever had.

My husband and I were traveling Colorado for an anniversary vacation. We stumbled upon this shop and spent quite awhile speaking to the owners. We bought some trinkets and purchased a large photo the owner had taken of the beautiful mountains in Ouray. It was a lovely experience. We intend on going back!
