Skis
If you don’t have your own ski equipment or don’t want to pay the hefty fees some airlines charge to take it with you, hiring ski equipment in France is a good option. Deals abound, so it doesn’t have to cost a fortune, either.
There are a number of companies that offer equipment hire in the Alps and other ski areas, and each resort has its own ski equipment hire facilities. They often offer package deals along with accommodation or lift tickets, so make sure to check for discounts from your resort.
From brand new, top-of-the-line equipment that you can try out before making a purchase back home, to solid, reliable skis, snowboards, boots, poles, and other accessories that are great for beginners, there is something for everyone at resort equipment hire facilities. Sizes range from child to adult, so families can easily hire ski equipment as a group.
Other companies that offer ski equipment hire in France include Intersport, Sport 2000, and Skiset. These companies are not associated with a particular resort, but rather operate across France. They are good if you want specialist recommendations or advice on anything from technical aspects of your skis to ski safety on the slopes.
They even offer online ski equipment hire with live chat to help you choose the right equipment for your ski holiday in France. You can just choose what you want and pick it up when you arrive at the ski resort of your choice. These companies often offer good deals online if you book early, so make sure to compare their prices to those of the resorts before your trip.
Prices for ski equipment hire in France vary based on what kind of equipment you choose, the length of your ski holiday, and the company you hire from. As a guide, you can expect to pay around 25 euros a day for basic adult skis. Voucher codes abound online, though, so make sure to look for additional deals and discounts before making a booking.
