 Poster: A snowHead
|
Could anyone reccomened a ski hire shop in St Gervais, for both skis and boards? I'm not bothered if it's up by the lift to leave kit as we do have storage facilities at the apartment.
Never been to St Gervais & I was burnt hiring kit in other resorts so recommendations would be appreciated

@Saphhome,
I've only used Claude Penz up at Bettex (midstation) but they were good (think you can leave stuff there and collect every morning which can be convenient. We were happy. Suspect places in St G may be a bit cheaper.

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

Thanks. Will have a look. If the kit is a bit better quality I don't mind paying for it. My other options appear to be sport 2000 or twinner

Have used both Claude Penz and Nerey and Twinner in the village. All fine but Claude Penz better range (well that was the fussy 18 year old's verdict) and worth the little extra for the convenience

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I always recommend my friends to use Nerey Glisse in Saint Gervais & no one has been disappointed yet, they have a heated store room you can use 250 yards from bottom gondola.

We used Intersport at the top of the St Gervais gondola. Includes storage etc and the premium kit was a good standard (We are mainly based on the piste however). Only pain is that you have to trek up and down some metal stairs at the start/end of the day.

@Northernhills, i think you will find that there are 68 steps, it is a complete pain if you have kids stuff to carry as well.

Correct...well, I haven't actually counted, but did note when there at the weekend that Intersport is at the bottom of a long flight of metal steps leading into the gondola station, whereas Claude Penz is at the level of the entrance to the Arbois gondola. Claude Penz was very efficient, equipment OK-good, and happy to change skis when I wasn't entirely satisfied with my first pair. Unless you are staying in Le Bettex, is definitely worth paying for a storage locker in the basement below the Claude Penz shop
