Axtra is the first axe-throwing range in Zurich. As Zurich's pioneer in axe throwing, its mission is to provide an unparalleled, adrenaline-pumping activity. It's the perfect place to go when the weather is gloomy, and you have some extra time on your hands.
Obviously, there are some risks when it comes to axe throwing, but do not worry. With their Axe-parts guiding your throws, even beginners discover their inner lumberjack. Age is also no barrier. With their youngest axe thrower being 12 and the oldest being 77, everyone finds their aim.
Axtra is also very conscious of the climate, and the impact trees have on the ecosystem. They use fast-growing poplar trees for targets, allowing new trees to thrive. All their wood comes from Switzerland from a place called Graubünden. Now, are you ready for an axe-citing time perfecting your aim and exploring a new activity while being environmentally friendly?
