There is even an on-mountain rental outlet with overnight ski storage facility. Verbier is one the premier ski resorts in the Alps and the ski hire stores all offer a wide range of top quality kit. Whether you are an expert looking for extreme off-piste thrills or a beginner looking for a forgiving pair of skis there will be something on offer for you.

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 Verbier easily enough.

Why we recommend SKISET

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.
