Ski, Snowboard & Boot Hire

We can pre-book your skis, snowboard, boots and children’s helmets, so that it is all arranged for you and you will not have to worry about paying once you arrive. We have selected Sport 2000 and SkiSet, which ensure that not only the highest standard of equipment and service will be provided for all levels of skiers, but also regularly waxed and edged skis, disinfected boots between each rental and bindings adjusted by a qualified technician in the resort.

With over 300 outlets in France, it allows us to offer you a very wide range of shops and we are able to provide equipment hire in all of our resorts. In most resorts, the nearest shop will be in a maximum radius of one kilometre from your accommodation, some only a few hundred metres and in many cases, within the residence and hotel of your choice.

Ski Extras only bookings (accommodation booked elsewhere) are subject to availability and will incur a £25 per booking fee. Conditions apply. Please enquire with a member of the Ski Collection team in relation to the dates when you are travelling and to the resort where you are staying.

We advise that you pre-book your equipment in advance, so that:

ü	Your equipment is reserved and waiting for you;
ü	You save precious skiing time;
ü	You don’t have to worry about transporting bulky heavy equipment from the UK;
ü	In addition to keen prices, you are assured that the price you pay at the time of booking will not change once you get to the resort.

We are able to offer four equipment categories:

Please note that we do not offer the basic ‘Green’ category as these are generally inadequate skis, even for beginners; below are listed, by category, some of the most common examples of skis you will find.

BLUE For first time and recreational skiers looking to improve their technique.

Head Xenon 3.0 and Volk Unlimited R1 or equivalent, stable skis for easy progress.

Salomon Snowblade Mini-Max or equivalent, mini-tools for maxi fun.

RED For intermediate to good skiers wishing to rise to new challenges.

Rossignol Z1 Oversize TPI or equivalent, excellent behaviour and comfort.

RED Lady For intermediate to good skiers wishing to rise to new challenges.

Dynastar Exclusive or equivalent, a ski technically designed for women.

BLACK For expert skiers and free-riders in search of new sensations.

Head IM 78 Track and Dynastar Legend 4800 Fluid or equivalent, a high performance skis.

PRESTIGE For expert skiers and special techniques. Top of the range and the best latest season skis.

K2 Apache Chief for powder snow.

Rossignol Mutix for competition.

SNOWBOARD For beginner to intermediate boarders.

RED Versatile board for most levels.

BLACK For advanced snowboarders.

We are confident that most adequate equipment will be provided and adjusted when you arrive at the shop. However, the technicians will be happy to re-adjust the bindings, swap your boots or skis if you require after a few hours or days skiing. If you wish to exchange skis against snowboard mid-week, this will be possible in most shops, at a supplement, payable locally.

Please note that during peak periods, it may be difficult to exchange equipment, but the staff on site will be happy to assist you the best they can; so please do not hesitate to ask.

We recommend that children under 13 years wear a helmet for their safety. We can arrange all hire for any duration (minimum 3 days), please call us for details.
