1. EPEAK Ride
This is a high quality online booking and delivery service operating in the Tarentaise Valley of France. Based near Vilaroger (Les Arcs) they offer three different categories: Progress, Performance and Premium for adults and children looking for ski or snowboard equipment. Their team will come and deliver to you where you are staying and have you try on the boots and adjust the bindings if necessary. If your boots don't fit just right they have stock in their vehicles for you to try something else. Failing that they can return at a time to suit you to replace/exchange equipment. Their offices are open 7 days a week and they are never far away. At the end of your holiday simply leave your kit where it was delivered and EPEAK Ride will come and collect it.

For the best prices (up to 45% discount from the walk-in price) and a wide range of equipment please use our online ski hire booking service. For this we have teamed up with SKISET who have the largest network of ski hire outlets across the Alps. Select your accommodation from the drop down list (see map below) to show where you are staying in relation to their stores.
The online booking process is as easy as pie. There is no need to enter your shoe size, weight or height. Simply choose your 1st ski day (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 receipt for your booking with an attached voucher. Please print this voucher and present at any SKISET store in your resort.
For each quality 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.
Your ski hire voucher can be used at the following SKISET stores (see map below):
- Sainte Foy Sports 1: Found in the Res. Les Fermes de Sainte Foy in the resort centre near the tourist office (see photo above).
- LG Sports: Located in the Bataillette area on the ground floor of the Residence La Chapelle

If you wish to hire for 7 or more days (perhaps you are self-driving) then please visit the SKISET website. Their online booking system will accept bookings of 7 days or more. Use this link to benefit from special rates for Alpine Answers clients: Hire periods of 7 or more days.SKISET 'Premium' category of rental equipment
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 Ste Foy Tarentaise
