|
Hi. I'm planning to fly either to Lyon or Geneva next weekend and then spend a few days trying a few resorts. I want to rent skis as near to the airport as I can so I can return them right before flying back home. Do you know any good rental shops near any of these airports? If not, what about within the cities?
Thanks.

You can rent at decathlon near Lyon airport. Don't try going into Lyon

Thanks for your reply. Decathlon in Portugal has much less ski expertise than the average ski rental shop. Is it any different in France? In other words, will I get the same level service and equipment I’d get in a Intersport shop, for instance?

I should have said I’m renting a car at whatever airport I land at.
I don’t mind driving nearby, I just don’t want to make big detours on my way from and back to the airport. If I land in Lyon I’ll go to Alpe d’Huez. If it’s Geneva then I’ll go to Megeve or Avoriaz.

Trust me, you don't want to go into Lyon center at all, in car or anything else and that is where the specialized rental stores are.
Ekosport in St Priest may rent skis, they are much closer to the airport and easy to get to.
https://www.skiprobel.com/ are just off the A48 autoroute in Grenoble, so wouldn't be too hard to get to and are a good ski shop but they shut for 3h at lunch. You don't want to be driving in Grenoble either though
otherwise Chambery maybe?
