Ski Hire in Tignes (Les Brevieres)
There are a few different ski hire shops in Tignes Les Brevieres ranging from good value options with the likes of Intersport (near the main lift station), Twinner and Ski Republic (just off the main street) through to smaller independent stores and also Tignes Spirit and Whitestorm who run a delivery and pick up service as well as good prices.
Les Brevieres is a very small village so getting around on foot is no trouble at all - therein lies some of its considerable charm. No matter where you are staying it should not be difficult to reach any of the ski hire outlets you may wish to use.
Ski or snowboard rental options
1. Whitestorm
Whitestorm offer an equipment delivery/pick up and mobile tech service (within the hour response time). Established in 1998 they have a strong presence in the Tarentaise Valley area. Quote our promo code: ALPINEANSWERS for a 35% discount.
2. Tignes Spirit
Tignes Spirit operate in both Tignes and Val d'Isere and offer a high quality equipment delivery/pick up service to your accommodation. They have one base in Tignes Le Lavachet which they work out of but deliver the equipment to all of the Tignes resorts from there. If anybody needs to change any of their equipment in the week they drive to their chalet and do it at the chalet. Or, if they are on the piste we will meet them there and do it on the piste. If the guests are staying in Tignes they often pick the guests up and bring them down to the shop then drop them back off with their friends or family.
Tignes Spirit is especially good for snowboard rental which is a higher level than other shops. They also have an extremely large range of powder and ski touring equipment (for both skiing and snowboarding). We don't believe that their range of kit for off-piste terrain is matched by any other shop in Tignes or Val d'Isere. Book on-line for a 30% discount and quote our promo code: Alpine Answers for best price.
3. EPEAK Ride
EPEAK Ride offer 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 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.

Extended ski hire for 7 or more days
If you wish to hire for 7 or more days (perhaps you are self-driving or taking the overnight Eurostar service) then please visit the SKISET website. Their online booking system will accept bookings of 7 days or more. If you are booking in a French resort the price for 7 days hire is the same as 6 days so you can enjoy 7 days hire for the price of 6.
