Ski Hire in Tignes

There are a large number of ski hire stores in Tignes. The last time we counted we found over 20 separate stores ranging from the budget options of Ski Republic and Skimium to big, well-stocked independent shops such as Vallon Blanc in Tignes Le Lac. There are also ski hire equipment delivery options in Tignes whereby your chosen ski or snowboard kit is delivered (and picked up at the end of the week) directly to your chalet or hotel. A delivery/pick up service will be a more expensive option but might be a more practical option for some.

The separate satellite villages of Tignes Val Claret and Tignes Le Lac are relatively small so you are never a long walk from a hire shop. However, there is also the resort free bus service which will get you around the villages of Tignes easily enough.

Your options:

1. EPEAK Ride

EPEAK Ride offer a high quality online booking and delivery service operating in the Tarentaise Valley of France. They offer three different categories: Progress, Performance and Premium for adults and children looking for ski or snowboard equipment. Their team will come and deliver to you where you are staying and have you try on the boots and adjust the bindings if necessary. If the boots they have selected don't fit just right they have stock in their vehicles for you to find the perfect fit. If you have any problems during your stay, contact them via WhatsApp and they will return at a time to suit you to replace/exchange equipment. Their offices are open 7 days a week and they are never far away. At the end of your holiday simply leave your kit where it was delivered and EPEAK Ride will come and collect it.

3. Oxygene

Oxygene offer a very good ski hire service from the store in the Residence Le Soleil building near the snow-front and tourist office in Tignes Le Lac. Book their chalet fitting service online and they will deliver your ski equipment on your arrival day and arrange a time to drop by and ensure everything fits as it should. At the end of your stay, simply leave your equipment in your accommodation for them to collect. They offer the chalet fitting service in both Tignes Le Lac and Tignes Val Claret. Oxygene also offer their own excellent ski school and when you book both ski hire and lessons with them you benefit from very good discounts.

4. Tignes Spirit

Tignes Spirit operate in both Tignes and Val d'Isere and offer a high quality equipment delivery/pick up service to your accommodation. They have one base in Tignes Le Lavachet which they work out of but deliver the equipment to all of the Tignes resorts from there. If anybody needs to change any of their equipment in the week they drive to their chalet and do it at the chalet. Or, if they are on the piste we will meet them there and do it on the piste. If the guests are staying in Tignes they often pick the guests up and bring them down to the shop then drop them back off with their friends or family. Tignes Spirit is especially good for snowboard rental which is a higher level than other shops. They also have an extremely large range of powder and ski touring equipment (for both skiing and snowboarding). We don't believe that their range of kit for off-piste terrain is matched by any other shop in Tignes or Val d'Isere. Book on-line for a 30% discount and quote our promo code: Alpine Answers for best price.

5. SKISET

For the best prices (up to 45% discount from the walk-in price) and a wide range of equipment please use our online ski hire booking service. For this we have teamed up with SKISET who have the largest network of ski hire outlets across the Alps.

Why we recommend SKISET

The online booking process is very easy with no need for your shoe size, weight or height. Simply choose your 1st ski day (usually the day after you arrive in resort), the number of days you wish to hire for and what category of equipment you wish to book. On booking you will receive an email receipt with pdf voucher which you print and take to any SKISET shop in resort.

For each category there are many different makes and models of skis and snowboards to choose from. The shop staff in resort will help you select the best equipment to match your ability, preferred ski terrain (piste, park or off-piste) and the prevailing snow conditions.
