Ski & Snowboard Hire - 2012/2013

We ask that ski equipment is pre-booked and pre-paid please to guarantee availabilit so will ask for your requirements on the Booking Form that you complete when you confirm your booking.

All children aged 11 and under on date of departure qualify for free ski equipment hire (standard skis, sticks, boots and helmet) for the duration of the holiday - worth over £132 per person (for a 6 day rental). Sorry, snowboard hire is not included in this offer.

Since 1st January 2005 all skiers and snowboarders, aged 14 or under, using the pistes of Italian ski resorts are required to wear a helmet. You can either buy these in the UK or in resort, or they can be rented from us in resort (pre-booking and pre-payment is required to guarantee availability).

Champoluc

We run our own ski hire and deposit in Champoluc, just metres from the bottom of the main gondola and the bottom of the piste back in to the resort. Equipment is issued here from our extensive stock and then stored for the remainder of your stay in a deposit right at the bottom of the piste. Our trained British staff are on hand throughout your day should you wish to change your equipment, or discuss trying out a different pair of skis.

In the morning a short walk from your hotel to this ski deposit will allow you to collect your skis and boots, ascend 3 short flights of stairs to the gondola station. At the end of the day a red run from the top of the gondola brings you within steps of the ski deposit door, where you can return your ski equipment, put on your comfortable shoes and amble back to your hotel.

As well as a store for our comprehensive range of skis and boots, our ski hire acts as our main Champoluc resort office. With a comfortable seating area, internet access (free use on request for Ski 2 clients) and an information point, this office is open between 0830 and 1730 hours every day, staffed by at least one member of our resort team. If you arrive in the evening and would prefer to collect your ski equipment outside of these hours, this can easily be arranged.

Please note that we have recently introduced a new level of 'Prestige' skis. These are top of the range skis and include 'twin tips' skis and the best racing skis.

If you would like us to email you a list of the current stock of skis from our 'Superior' range in Champoluc, please email sarah@rogerwalkertravel.com

All prices quoted below are 'per person' for the number of days indicated and include FREE storage in a ski deposit within a few metres of the bottom of the piste and the main ski lift. If you bring your own equipment this is also stored at no charge.
