Hire skis or bring your own?

Hiring saves carrying skis through airports and paying an airline's sports equipment fee, which varies by carrier. It also lets you match skis to the conditions and swap them if they do not suit you.

Boots matter more than skis for comfort. Many regular skiers bring their own boots and hire skis in resort.

Ways to hire skis in the Alps

  • Rental networks such as Skiset, Intersport Rent, Skimium, Ski Republic, Sport 2000 Rent and Twinner work with shops across many resorts, with online booking before you travel.
  • Marketplaces such as Alpy compare local rental shops in one place.
  • Delivery services bring kit to your accommodation and fit it there. Ski Butlers covers Courchevel, Méribel, Tignes and Val d'Isère, White Storm covers Courchevel and Méribel, and FairSki covers Val d'Isère.
  • In the Portes du Soleil, compare delivery in Morzine and Les Gets.

Booking ski hire before you go

Pre-booking secures kit in your size during busy weeks, and many shops offer an online discount. Before you pay, check what the package includes (skis, boots, poles, helmet), the cancellation terms and whether damage and theft cover is offered.

What the hire shop needs to know

Height, weight, shoe size, age and ability. These set ski length and the release setting on your bindings, so give honest figures. Children's sizes change quickly, so measure them before you book.

Getting your boots right

Most hire problems are boots. They should feel snug but not painful, with your heel held down. Wear one pair of thin ski socks when you are fitted, and go back the same day if anything hurts.

Frequently asked questions

Should I book ski hire in advance?

For school holiday weeks, yes. Popular sizes can run short in busy resorts, and many shops give a discount for booking online.

Can ski hire be delivered to my chalet?

In some resorts. Delivery companies fit kit at your accommodation and collect it when you leave. Coverage is resort by resort, so check your exact address.

Can I swap skis during the week?

Most shops will swap kit that does not suit you. Some delivery services visit your accommodation to do it. Changing to a higher category may cost more.
