fairfield_munchkin, I used ski republic in Val Claret the other week so would recommend them. Good service IMO and decent skis plus they did 2 for one and a 30% discount for the third set.

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

I have just come back today, it spoke to the chalet staff over a few beers and they said ski republic was the cheapest you would find. There were lots of people out on their skis and they have a number of shops across all parts of the resort. The rep said he sent his mates there as they did a better deal than he could get. He also told the group to be careful around the aeroski (top and bottom) as top end hire skis had a habit of going walkabout. Could this be his plan to make sure everyone paid for extra insurance.

Ski Republic. TOs tend to 'recomend' based on the kick-back they get  .

We've used le Vallon Blanc (small independent opposite the Aeroski) a couple of times - not the cheapest but had good service.

Many thanks folks for the replies. Ski Republic it might just be then...will have a look at the website and see if we can book at the weekend. Will also check out le Vallon Blanc too. Any other thoughts/comments welcome!
Agree about the TOs and 'kick-backs', hence the question. Though last year we went with the TO's recommendation as we didn't have any time to do any searching ourselves and I hadn't found  . As it turned out the ski shop was in the chalet next door to ours and on the way to/from the piste, so couldn't complain.
Thanks...

Can't recommend Ski Republic highly enough. Used them in Le Lac last year, and just booked again (flying out Sunday this week). They have a permanent 2 for 1 deal if you book ahead on their website.

Dont think Ski republic pay kickbacks to tour ops - in fact pretty positive on that. Have to say I used them in Tignes and the standard of servicing and equipment led a lot to be desired.

So basically I have read that Ski republic in Tigne Le Lac is get what you pay for, cheap 2 for 1 deals, but the skis are not very good condition.
Does anyone have experience with renting skis online for Tigne Le Lac?
If so what website and how were the skis?
Anyone any experience of renting skis from Ski Precision?
Cheers

Snowpark Galerie du Palafour, Rue de la Poste, le Lac Ask for Regise speaks perfect English, have good website, have even Whitedot and a large group of OP skis on rent. A friend of mine and I can recommend without doubt. Check what you want to rent is in his field. If you want to buy he will take the price of the rental from the price of a new ski. He has the advantage of a piste "running past the front door", if you don't like them after a couple of runs try something else.
