Where in Switzerland can you refill a gas cylinder?
Are there any shops / facilities where man can get a gas canister refilled in the Switzerland (around Chur)? I am interested in filling a 2kg gas canister like the one on the picture.
I know that it is possible to buy / change a gas canister at various gas stations but the cylinders sold in the Switzerland do not fit to our stove. Our stove is attached directly on the top of the canister but canisters I have seen here in Switzerland have a valve that points sideways.
Best Answer
Your tank is likely proprietary to the Czech Republic (perhaps available in some neighboring countries), so not something you will likely find further away in Switzerland.
If by some chance, the threads and valve on your tank match the threads and valve on the Swiss tanks (other than position), perhaps a refilling station can refill the tank. But most countries are pretty strict about tanks, refilling, etc.
