Ski Hire in Meribel

There are approximately 12 different ski hire shops in Meribel ranging from budget options through to big, well-stocked shops such as Ski Boutique 1 (see below and the image opposite). There are also ski hire equipment delivery options in Meribel whereby your chosen ski or snowboard kit is delivered (and picked up at the end of the week) directly to your chalet or hotel. A delivery/pick up service will be a more expensive option but might be a more practical option for some.
If you are staying in a catered chalet the staff may drive you to and from your chosen ski hire shop at the beginning and end of your holiday so that you can pick up and drop off your equipment. If there is no driver service available there is always the resort free bus service which will get you around Meribel easily enough.

FreeSki
Free Ski have a large shop located right in the centre of main resort Meribel close to the tourist office and the bottom of the escalator leading to the pistes. They cater largely for the UK market and offer a number of services. They will pick you up in their minivan from your chalet or hotel and bring you to the store to arrange your kit, and when you are finished they will run you and your equipment back to your accommodation. They also offer to drop off and pick up your pre-booked equipment and also they offer an overnight storage facility for skis and boots. All you need to do is get to the shop in your comfy shoes and then get your boots on and pick up your skis. The escalator to the slopes is opposite the store.
SKISET
SKISET have the largest network of ski hire outlets across the Alps, and our on-line booking process is very easy. There is no need to enter your shoe size, weight or height - simply choose your 1st day of skiing (usually the day after you arrive in resort), the number of days you wish to hire for, and what category of equipment you wish to book. On booking you will receive an email with confirmation of your booking along with an attached voucher. Please print this voucher and present in any of the SKISET stores. Why we recommend SKISET.
For each product category there are many different makes and models of skis and snowboards to choose from. The shop staff in resort will help you select the best equipment from the category you booked to match your ability, preferred ski terrain (piste, park or off-piste) and the prevailing ski/snowboarding conditions.

The top category of rental equipment available through any holiday company is the 'Excellence' category (which we price below). However, if you book directly through the SKISET website there is a more expensive 'Premium' category available for those that have to have the best no matter the extra cost. Brands featured in this category include: Lacroix, Black Crows, Kastle, Exonde and Blizzard.Insurance to cover theft or damage to your rental equipment
Insurance is not included when you book your equipment through our site below. However, it is available to purchase in-store and costs approx 1.00euro per day (please ask for it when you pick up your equipment). This insurance will cover you against costs incurred from the ski hire store for theft, or damage to equipment. It may be that your travel insurance already covers this but you should check with your insurance provider if this is the case. If you are skiing it is always a good idea to 'split' your skis when they are not with you (ie at lunch).Skiset Ski and Snowboard Prices in Meribel
