 Poster: A snowHead
|
Im going to Tignes, Val Claret on February 4th for a week
Where should I hire my skis, I want to start the week on piste skis and after a few days swap to twin tip all mountain skis.
I cant find anywhere that allows you to swap skis during the week and has both piste and all mountain twin tips for a good price, so any suggestions?

what do you mean... where have you tried? What do you consider to be a good price?
I would expect all the shops in the resort itself would do this, limited to the range they have available.

Ive tried skiset but on there site they dont have any all mountain twin tips available (they used to have salomon twenty twelve's available)
Im unsure of what skis intersport have available as there site is not very good, and piste skis and all mountain skis are a different price so I don't know weather I would be able to swap anyway
Skimium have a good range of what I want in the privilege package but it is much more thn skiset and intersport and you have to pay extra to be able to swap skis

Hutchy, Havent used them for a while but SKI REPUBLIC used to be fairly easy going about swapping kit. Could be worth a look.

I've booked some Salomon Lords from Le Vallon Blanc in Le Lac. I'm out on 4th Feb and staying in Val Claret but it's only 10 mins on the bus to Le Lac.
They have pics of all their skis. The Lords I've booked are this seasons but they also have last years at a cheaper price. You can ring them and see if they'll be able to sort you.
Here's the link

The rental shops are massive there and it would not be feasible for them to list every brand and style of ski they rent. They are also all very competitive so pricing is good.
I think you will have no problem doing this at any/all of the big rental shops in VC.

Tignes Spirit do Movement skis, I hired some Movement Jams though not strictly a twin tip, maybe the source would suit you? It is only 5 mins away on the free bus to La Lavachet where they are based and they will pickup at the end of your trip. Or try

not tried them myself but have a decent selection.

Thanks for all the suggestions but I had a look on skiset again and they had the Salomon twenty twelve available again and thanks to snowheads discount, quido cashback and the good exchange rate I got them for a good price.

I head to Tignes on 3rd March, should I book my intermediate skis via Direct Ski now, or just go along when I arrive and rent from Skiset? Direct Ski are only charging €90.
Looks like there is a Skiset shop near where I'm staying (Hamea du Borsat).
