Ski Hire in Val d'Isere

There are approximately 20 different ski hire shops in Val d'Isere ranging from budget options through to big, well-stocked shops. There are also ski hire equipment delivery options in Val d'Isere whereby your chosen ski or snowboard kit is delivered (and picked up at the end of the week) directly to your chalet or hotel.

Another great service on offer is a chauffeured pick up and return service which is run by ski hire shops like Snowberry Slopeside (see below). Simply give them a call when you are ready and they will take you to their shop and return you and kit when you are done. Please note that these delivery/pick up services will be a more expensive option but might be a more practical option.

If you are staying in a catered chalet your chalet staff may well will 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 on option there is always the very efficient resort free bus service which will get you around Val d'Isere.
