 Poster: A snowHead

Is there any advantage in booking ski hire in Lech in advance? I've never been there before, so I'm wondering if there's a real saving from going through Alpinresorts or one of the other intermediaries. Or if I book direct with the shop I get a discount? I'm going mid Jan, so I imagine there's no risk of them running low on stock. I'm staying about 10 min walk towards Warth from where the main road crosses the river.

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

Agree with @Stevebeckhead. I’m headed to Lech for the first time this year and have been pricing things up in recent weeks. After looking at Strolz, Sportalp, and Intersport, the latter seems to offer the best value as it automatically applies an early bird discount. I also noticed The Ski Podcast have an offer, but it doesn’t seem to do anything with the price. For 6 days hire of boots and premium skis for Mrs ITC and I… €530. Ouch.

@koru, @Stevebeckhead, @inthecold,
Yes, Intersport has the most reasonable prices.
Sportalp has the advantage of being 'ski-in/out', right next to the central Schlegelkopf-piste, which is very practical in case you want to change during your stay.
And they bring the gear to your hotel (at least they did some years ago), and they do offer pre-booking discount

Thanks, some good tips. If they bring the skis to the hotel that would be a bonus, though we are in apartments (https://almrausch-lech.com/en/), so perhaps they don't qualify. Worth asking!

@koru, Sportalp is my recommendation. Best location and they have bookable storage too.

See what you mean, Sportalp are significantly more expensive. About 80 euros per person. For me, the Schlosskopf location is closest, so they seem the way to go.
I don't need storage, as it is going to be much quicker skiing in and out of the lodgings than walking to the lifts.
