What are the benefits of booking online?

When you book online, you receive a 10% discount on the regular rental price. You can also take your time choosing your equipment before you arrive. The online discount cannot be combined with other offers.

Do I book a ski category or a specific model?

You can book a ski category and choose the right model together with our team when you arrive. Alternatively, you can select a specific ski using the model selection option.

Your preferred model is available in around 90% of cases, but availability cannot be guaranteed. If it is unavailable, we will contact you by email and suggest an alternative.

Can I rent equipment without a reservation?

Yes, you can rent your equipment directly in our shop. However, we recommend booking online in advance, especially during holiday periods.

Can I collect my equipment the day before?

Yes, you can collect your equipment free of charge the day before your first ski day, between 17:00 and 19:00. Simply select this option when booking online. This allows you to have your equipment fitted before your first day on the slopes.

What do I need to bring when collecting my equipment?

Please bring your booking confirmation. If you plan to use your own ski boots, bring them too so we can adjust the bindings accordingly. If you are renting from us for the first time, we will also need to see an identity document.

When do I need to return my equipment?

Please return your equipment by 18:00 on the final day of your rental.

Can I extend my rental period?

If you would like to keep your equipment for longer, please contact us before your rental period ends. We’ll check availability and let you know the additional cost.

What happens if I return my equipment early?

You can return your equipment early at any time. However, a refund is only available in the event of an injury and upon presentation of a medical certificate.

Equipment & Advice

Which ski category is right for me?

This depends on your ability, skiing style and preferences. Our Silver category is suitable for beginners and early intermediate skiers. Gold offers comfort in a range of piste conditions, while Platinum is designed for more dynamic skiing. Our Diamond category features particularly high-quality models. Our team will be happy to help you choose.

What is included in the rental price?

Ski poles are included when you rent skis. Ski boots, a helmet and a back protector can be booked separately. During the booking process, you can see your selected equipment and the total price.

Can I rent just skis or just ski boots?

Yes, you can choose the equipment you need, including skis only. If you would like to use your own boots with rental skis, please bring them with you so we can adjust the bindings.

If you only need ski boots, there is no need to book online. Simply visit our shop – we have plenty of boots in stock.

Do you have equipment for children?

Yes, we offer children’s skis and ski boots, as well as junior skis and snowboards. Helmets and back protectors can also be added to your booking. We’ll be happy to help you choose the right equipment.

What is the difference between Standard and Premium ski boots?

Premium ski boots have a higher flex rating, meaning they are stiffer and particularly suited to more dynamic skiing. This category also includes models with the BOA system, which allows precise and convenient fit adjustment.

Standard ski boots are softer and particularly suitable for beginners and those getting started with skiing.

What should I do if my ski boots hurt or my equipment does not fit?

Please come back to our shop. We’ll check the fit and work with you to find a solution so you can continue enjoying your day on the slopes.

Can I change my skis or category during the rental period?

Yes, you can change your skis or category during your rental. An additional charge applies when upgrading to a higher category. If you switch to a lower-priced category, the price difference will not be refunded.

Are the ski boots cleaned and the skis serviced?

Yes, our rental ski boots are disinfected after every rental. Our skis are ground and checked after each rental before being rented out again.

Can you deliver my rental equipment to my accommodation?
