Hi Hamed,
We used Skiset Le Chamois a couple of years ago and they were very good. There were 4 of us and all but 1 of us made changes over a weekend! 1 changed boots, 1 skis, and 1 skis twice!! They were fine about it. Also you can get discount by booking online in advance 20% although I suspect you could probably get that anyway, we had Ski Club membership at the time and got discount with that. www.skiset.com
Depends where you are staying though and this may not be the most convenient and there are other Skiset branches and other shops all over the village. Try the courchevel.com website for complete list.

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

hamed, we've used Jean Blanc Sports right at La Croisette. Very good ski service, and lots of changes, allowed us to test out a lot of equipment. There is another one just up the hill from there, very friendly, and had some race skis to try out too, but I can't remember the name - quite possibly one of the SkiSet branches.

Jean Blanc is good and Freeride have a branch in 1850 and will deliver skis to your apartment..

Judging by their website, Freeride look to have a good range for all standards and a good customer focus - www.freeride.fr . Maybe slightly pricier than some others. But haven't used them yet. Have booked from them for next week (in Meribel).

Alpine Logic, they are an excellent ski school, but their range of hire skis is pretty limited. We don't hire from them, as they have a basic range of skis, but we were looking for race skis and high end womens' skis - they don't have either. However we have our own skis and only hire to try different skis out.
We do have lessons from Gareth, and he is an excellent tutor. If you're looking for standard skis, they would be very nice and very friendly. The shop isn't as convenient as Jean Blanc Sports.
