 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just dawned on me that some friends are arriving with us and need to hire skis. Anyone care to recommend anywhere in Peisey to hire, we are staying just by the big fecking clothes line  called the Vanoise Express.

thefatcontroller, we didn't use them but Noz Sports (Sport 2000) down the road from the new, high speed, double decker clothes line seemed very good in terms of skis and availability when we popped in to look at new skis last February. btw the peg bags on the large washing line were working correctly then  sorry

Anymore recommendations/thoughts? Or anyone know how close Noz (or the other sport 2000 - vanoise) are from the 'washing line'  We're heading out in a few weeks to peisey and I have 12 rounds of skis to hire....
thanks!

I've used Vallandry Sports, they are a family run business, in my experience very friendly and helpful. Opposite and up from Sherpa in Vallandry.

a.j., Noz Sports are great & have a good selection of new skis (well, new this season!) in their brand new purpose built shop. They are about 50metres down from the Vanoise Express -(just opposite our apartment in fact  ). It would be worth asking Philliipe or his sister Stephi (the owners) if they would give you a discount on that many pairs. Their English isnt very good (Stephis is better than Phillipes), but they have employed a couple of people this year who speak better English than they do. Have a great time - when are you going?

I used the sport 2000 next to the flying squirrel (vanoise sports) last season cos (a) it was the nearest (b) it was recommended and (c) the owner beatrice is a very nice french lady and put up with my pathetic attempts to speak french. Don't have a massive range of kit, but would do a deal. There's an intersport on that level that the boys in the squirrel and all the ski beat punters used and they got ok press too.
Noz Sports was the only shop in the whole of Arc 2000 / 1800 / vallandry and Peisey which had the plates to fix the bindings that failed on my mates salomon skis last season (what engages the heel piece) so there obviously a good outfit. Probably the biggest range of kit in peisey..
TBH pick the one of those 3 that's on the closest level to your apartment and you'll be all good...

Thanks for the super quick responses guys! Noz is the most convienient of those so sounds like that's the way to go - my french is just about good enough to secure skis regardless of who we find instore on the day, and there is a hefty web discount available so don't need to stretch my talents to negotiating further freebies
We are in town from the 6th March genepi - staying with snowchateaux down in peisey. Counting the days already!
