Ski & Snowboard Equipment Hire
Our ski lockers are located at our nearest lift which is 150 metres flat walk from the chalets. Prices for the ski hire, from the shop that allows us to use their ski lockers on a private basis for their skis and privately owned skis, are competitively priced. We (SnowChaetaux) keep an eye on the pricing from all potential suppliers in our resort and our local shop is in most instances (i.e. adult & child ski packs etc) the best priced.
If you do choose a different provider elsewhere please do be sure that they have adequate ski locker space for you as there are no lockers at our chalets (they are in our local ski hire shop and our local shop refuse to store competitors skis). We will accompany you to the ski shop on your day of arrival to assist in allocating your pre-reserved skis. Please contact us early to reserve your skis and avoid dissapointment.
