Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Testing Touring Skis in Austria

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Which resorts/shops have a good selection of modern touring skis to rent in Austria?

A friend has gotten the ski touring bug but she has only rented touring skis until now. She would like to try before she buys. Some shops have old stock or only a couple of ski touring brands - looking for newer models and would like to try many brands/models.


Was thinking of

St Anton
Kuhtai
Salzburg area
Galtur

..... any other places?

If any Snowheads living in Austria can pop into the local ski rental places to see what rental touring skis they have then give feedback here I would appreciate it.

There is a general test day on the piste at Stubai in November. I'm not sure what will be available, but I guess you could ask them. https://www.facebook.com/events/1891582864321894/

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

I think Jennewein in St Anton have a reasonable selection of touring kit for hire (based on recollection of eyeing up the racks when waiting for friends to get their downhill kit sorted). I’ve not hired touring gear from them myself though.

As already said, Jennewein in St Anton have some touring kit available, as do (I think, not 100%) Sport Pete.

@DB, St Anton's probably your best chance other than the glacier testivals. I don't think Kühtai has anything more than your run-of-the-mill piste ski rental shops.
