Can anyone recommend (or warn me off!) a ski hire place in Tignes-le-lac? I think all the usual suspects like Intersport, SkiSet, Twinner etc are there. Would love to hear any first-hand experiences! That includes boarders as well as skiers. Cheers

I'm interested in Tignes-Le-Lac ski hire for Crimbo. Looking to hire a pair of girlie skis for a 5'2"/120lb 3 week skier. Any recommendations?

Has nobody out there hired skis in Tignes-le-lac??? I am shocked. Finally, a question that Snowheads cannot answer!!
Do me a favour spyderjon, and let me know of your Xmas hire shop experiences when you get back (I won't be out there til mid-Jan).

the ice perv, I have, just for a few days, but I can't remember which place I used. It wasn't one of the big shops there (Twinner has a nice setup), just a small place but they all seemed to be much of a muchness.

the ice perv, ....nice try...! 
I can vouch for DUCH SPORTS on Rue de la Poste, Tignes le Lac - just up the hill road from Palafour Lift. Ask for Oliver DUCH, the owner. Telephone: 00 33 4 79 06 30 27

This April we used le Vallon Blanc [url]info@vallon-blanc.fr[/url]. We pre-ordered over the internet and had a very efficient service. Over the course of the 8 days I changed my skis every 2 days (I wanted to try a variety before buying which I have now done form Ski Bilek) and they did not charge me extra.

check out www.snowfun.com or www.skiset.com. ( i think also precision ski is part of the same outfit). We've booked online for our last few trips and it's been ok. I've changed skis 2-3 times in a week without any hassle. They have a shop close to the new Palafour lift. (next door to intersport). My son is a boarder with size 12 feet and on one occasion they drove him round to val claret and back so that he could pick up a wide board. We now pre order one and thus far it's been ready and waiting when we've arrived.

3 years ago i used Intersport to hire offpiste skis. I used the skisfor 5 days and bought from them. The manager subtracted the cost of hire from the price ie got 5 days of skiing for free. Also had free service from them for the following 2 weeks. Good service.

All, thanks for the info, that's great.

benpudney, I think I am actually staying near Le Bec Rouge. I don't really want to waste valuable skiing time browsing one shop after another. I also want to book in advance to get the 20% internet discount most of them offer.
