Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi folks, Just weighing up the various ski hire options in Tignes. The ski company I have booked my holiday use Intersport. I was wondering if anyone has used them recently in Tignes for ski hire? If so what was the choice of ski's like, quality of ski's (newish ski's, 2016 models) & service etc.
OF on here used skiset (Deep Snow shop) in Tignes VC & had an overall good experience with them. Their web site seems much better as well.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

If it's the one that's on the right as you come into Le Lac (Just before underground car parks) then we had a good experience with them a couple of years ago.
A family of intermediate skiers, so our demands are not that high, but they were efficient and friendly - and seemed to be reasonable kit for what we paid. they also replaced my son's poles without question (or charge) when he dropped them from a chairlift into the most completely inaccessible part of the mountain
(And despite us having declined the insurance)
As mentioned already, if the shop is convenient, then it's worth looking to see if it's cheaper to go through a 3rd party like alpinresports or snowbrainer.
Seems counter-intuitive to be cheaper when a 3rd party are taking a cut, but does seem to be the case?

We used intersport last week.
New skis, good edges, good swift service at the shop. Set up to correct numbers etc.
In summary, no problems.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

There are 4 Intersports in Tignes - do you have any idea which shop? They are franchises so they do vary.

No sorry. Didn't realise the franchise bit. As there are so many ski hire shops in Tignes I suppose they all have to compete - not just price but on quality of kit. I don't mind paying a bit more if its good quality & fairly new.
