Located in the Les Balcons area of Val Thorens, this ski hire service provides a convenient choice for anyone looking to rent skis, snowboards and equipment during their stay. With two stores in the resort, you can choose from a wide selection of quality equipment for different abilities and styles, whether you prefer piste skiing, freestyle, freeride or snowboarding.

Quality equipment for every level

The range includes recent, well-maintained equipment that is carefully prepared for each rental. Whether you’re skiing for the first time or looking for high-performance equipment for exploring the Three Valleys, the experienced team can help you find equipment suited to your level, skiing style and requirements.

Boot fitting is another key part of the service. Specialist staff are trained to take precise measurements of your feet and can help you find the right fit, while modern bootfitting equipment is used to improve comfort and ensure your boots are properly suited to you. If you’re hiring ski boots rather than buying, the team can still help you find a comfortable fit.

Safety is also a priority, with bindings adjusted by experienced technicians and helmets available for both adults and children. Rental boots are carefully dried and disinfected between uses, helping to ensure your equipment is clean, comfortable and ready for the slopes.

Ski clothing and accessories

The two stores also offer a comprehensive selection of ski clothing and accessories for adults and children. You’ll find everything from jackets, helmets, goggles and gloves to après-ski clothing, with recognised brands including K2, Rossignol, Atomic and Oakley.

With knowledgeable staff on hand, you can get advice on choosing clothing and equipment according to factors such as warmth, waterproofing, breathability and comfort. Whether you’re hiring your skis for the week or need to pick up some extra kit, it’s a convenient place to prepare for your time on the slopes in Val Thorens.

Established in The Three Valleys since 1998

With more than two decades of experience in the Three Valleys, the team has built a strong understanding of skiing and snowboarding and what holidaymakers need from their equipment. Their knowledgeable staff offer friendly, personalised advice, helping skiers of all levels choose suitable equipment for a comfortable and enjoyable time on the slopes. With a focus on quality, safety and attentive service, they aim to make ski hire as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
