In Val d’Isere there are over 25 different shops where it’s possible to hire skiing or boarding equipment. Some have a very wide range of skis and boards and some will have a limited but more specialist range. Most shops offering a range of equipment will split it into three or more different categories, for example:
Advanced/Excellence: the top of the range gear and therefore the most expensive to hire. There will be race skis, the advanced carvers, and the all mountain ‘free-ride’ ranges. The latest products with the most recent technical innovations, whatever your type of skiing or boarding.
Intermediate/Performance: great gear, but for those who prefer progression over high performance. Last year’s advanced skis are often put in this category, so if you are looking to try out the top skis but still stick to your budget have a look at their range.
Beginner/Progression: to get you going. Just what you need when you are beginning, something that works well, suited to your level and the cheapest to hire.
Snowberry, and Jean Sports both hold good locations within the town.
Jean Sports: a friendly French run shop, with a very good selection of equipment. Well known for stocking touring skis and are the only shop in Val d’Isere to offer, for hire, an avalanche air bag system.
Snowberry: a British run ski hire shop, in a very good location beside the nursery slopes and Train Rouge bus stop. A great range of equipment and the staff are helpful and efficient. Snowberry also offer an equipment storage service; leave your skis & boots overnight and pick them up on the way to skiing in the morning – great if you want to avoid carrying skis anywhere. Additionally, Snowberry offers a pick up and drop off service at the beginning and end of your holiday.
A selection of Snowberry prices are shown below, these are for six day hire of skis (and sticks) or snowboards, plus boots. These are only guide line prices, please check the actual cost in the shop at the time of hire.
