Poster: A snowHead
|
I've organised a trip to Lech, I'm now having problems with booking skis as the gang going are moaning about the prices of hire in Lech.
I've found a hire shop in Klösterle which is better value, but don't know how much hassle it'll be to get skis from there and back to there.
Anyone have any local knowledge and bright ideas??
Doesn't actually effect me as I'm taking my own but the ear ache is a bloody pain!
Thanks!

Legend., You are a wise person.............Think you've more to worry about than ski hire prices if they are already moaning about prices and you havent got there yet............ Lech is pricy and not for the faint hearted, you might be needing to pack some ear-defenders!
Seriously though, whilst Klosterle isn't really that far, and yes it may be cheaper, can they realistically get there (ie have you got access to a car/ van?), and are they happy to keep running up and down, 15-20km on mountain roads to get things changed/ tweaked etc if required. Bite the bullet is my advice, Stroltz will have their leg off at the first opportunity, nice shiny glitzy Bogner gear for all........ker-ching!!

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

Markymark29, So true, there is that other place that does rental on the opposite side of the road to Stroltz on the corner near the chair lifts but I have a mental blank of the name, I just remember they were cheaper than Stroltz, mind you in Lech its all relative.

Get yourself into Strolz and get a pair of boots custom made for you €600 should probably cover it
Lech (and St Anton) are not cheap places to rent skis. Not sure if the shop in Stuben is cheaper but as it's a Strolz shop, probably not

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Legend., have you checked to see if you can book skis through AlpinResorts for Lech? We got a very good deal for booking ours for St Anton through there.

Legend., I am going to Lech in a couple of weeks and hired skis using ALPINRESORTS as NickyJ, suggests above.
Not a huge saving but a saving none the less

The Stuben shop is the same price as all the other Strolz ones!
Some friends hire from Kloesterle without any issues, but they had a hire car and didn't need to go back for any tweaking.
This is who they used http://www.snowbrainer.com/en/ski-rental/austria/vorarlberg/kloesterle

Legend., Just a thought, dont know how you are gettuing there but if driving you could stop off in Dornbirn on the way up, you'd get some good deals there I'm sure and there are very good quality shops there

Thanks guys and girls! The amazing news is they've bitten the bullet and plumped for the more expensive ones in Lech.
Next challenge is to get the cheapos to stop for lunch and beer and then of course a bit of apres!
9 days to go, now that is bloody exciting!!

If they are moaning about Lech prices, they can't afford to go.
