Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I am looking for any advice from people who have hired skis / boots in la Plagne Centre. We are staying in a chalet 14th jan, mixed group with mixed needs. 4 begginers 4 intermediate, 2 Advanced, 8 would probably do with the basic rental package boots and skis etc, the 2 advanced just looking for some skis. Any tips off those who have hired here before much appreciated. Intersport sees to be the best deal so far?
Thanks

I looked at all the relevant websites for equipment hire at Plagne Centre and I found Oxygene Ski School to be best offer. Whether thats because I booked lessons for others in the group I don't know but I have intermediate skis for 50 Euros. If you get them cheaper than that then fair play to you as I've already paid but I thought it reasonable.

Oxygene gets my vote. Good service, speak good english and skis are pretty good too

Oxygene are good - I rented some fatter skis from them when I was fed up with my own narrow carvers and they were reasonable.
My (nervous) OH also had ski school with them and he came on in leaps and bounds, he did brilliantly.

Thats good to hear as my wife and kids (complete beginners) are taking lessons with them in Jan. I have to say they have stayed in good touch with me via email and on twitter and cannot fault their customer service to date. They are also situated very centrally and right next to the nursery slope. I gather Oxygene have overnight storage for boots and skis too.

Hi mushywill,
+ 1 for Oxygene. They do ski school and ski hire so it works out a lot cheaper as a package for anyone having lessons.
The other thing to look at is rental republic (www.rentalrepublic.co.uk). You book online in advance and they come to the chalet to fit the skis so no ski shop queues.
Have a great holiday . .
Best wishes,
Heather
