Ski Shop on your Doorstep

A wide choice of skis and snowboards

Convenience doesn't mean having to compromise on the equipment.

There's a large rental stock covering beginners through to experienced skiers, with different equipment categories available according to ability, budget and the type of skiing you want to do.

The range includes equipment from major ski brands such as Atomic, Dynastar, Fischer, Head, Movement, Nordica, Rossignol, Salomon, Stöckli and Völkl, amongst others.

There are options for recreational piste skiing, more advanced skiers looking for higher-performance equipment, snowboards and children's equipment, so mixed groups can arrange most of their rental requirements together.

You don't necessarily need to know exactly which ski model you want before booking either. The technicians can select equipment suited to your level and the conditions, while more experienced skiers can make requests or choose a higher equipment category if they have something particular in mind.

Personal fitting and expert adjustments

One of the main advantages of mobile ski hire is that you're still getting the fitting and technical support you would expect from a good rental shop.

Equipment isn't simply dropped outside your accommodation.

A technician can check your set-up, make adjustments where required and ensure bindings are correctly configured. If you're hiring skis but bringing your own ski boots, the bindings can also be adjusted accordingly.

For families in particular, this can be considerably more relaxed than trying to get several people fitted simultaneously in a busy ski shop on a Saturday afternoon.

Change your equipment during your holiday

Choosing skis before you've actually skied that week's snow conditions can sometimes be difficult, particularly in a large ski area such as the Three Valleys.

The mobile service therefore continues once you've received your equipment.

If something doesn't feel quite right, your boots or equipment need adjusting, or you'd simply like to try something different, you can contact the team during your stay. A technician can come out to your accommodation and make the necessary change.

That flexibility can also be useful when conditions change during the week. You aren't necessarily committed to exactly the same set-up simply because it was the equipment selected at the beginning of your holiday.

Particularly useful for families and groups

Mobile ski hire makes sense for almost anyone, but its advantages become especially noticeable when several people are hiring equipment.

Taking a family into a rental shop can mean organising boots, skis, poles and helmets for several different people before carrying everything back to the chalet. Larger groups multiply the same problem.

Having the equipment brought to your accommodation removes much of that logistical effort and means everyone can be dealt with in a more comfortable setting.

It can also help groups arriving at different times, as equipment can be organised beforehand rather than requiring everyone to coordinate a trip to the ski shop.

Flexible around your arrival

Pre-booking is the easiest option, as it allows the team to prepare your equipment before you reach Meribel.

However, the service is designed to be flexible. If you've arrived in resort without organising your ski hire beforehand, it may still be possible to arrange a visit from a technician and get equipped at your accommodation.

The mobile team also operates beyond conventional ski-shop hours, which can be useful if you're arriving particularly early or late.

For visitors flying into Geneva, Lyon or Chambéry and reaching resort in the evening, this flexibility can help remove one more job from the following morning.

No return trip at the end of the week

The convenience continues when your skiing is finished.

Rather than carrying your rental skis, snowboards and boots back through resort on your final afternoon, the equipment can be collected directly from your accommodation.

It's a small detail, but a welcome one when you're also packing, organising children, checking out of a chalet or preparing for an early airport transfer.

A convenient alternative to traditional ski hire

Meribel has plenty of ski hire shops, and for some visitors collecting equipment from a shop will remain the obvious choice.

Mobile delivery offers a different approach: good-quality rental equipment combined with the convenience of having the fitting, adjustments, exchanges and final collection brought to you.

For families, groups and visitors staying in chalets or apartments, it's an especially appealing way to simplify the practical side of a ski holiday.

Book ahead, arrive in Meribel, get fitted at your accommodation and concentrate on the important part—getting out onto the mountain.

Established in the Three Valleys since 1994

Take reassurance in choosing a genuinely long-established local ski hire business. The team behind the service have been operating in the Three Valleys since 1994 and lays claim to being the original mobile ski rental delivery service in Méribel and Courchevel. More than 30 years of operating locally means plenty of experience dealing with the practicalities of ski holidays, changing snow conditions and the differing needs of everyone from first-time skiers to experienced regulars. The combination of an established local operation, trained technicians and physical ski shops in the area also gives the mobile service a solid infrastructure behind it, rather than it simply being a delivery-only operation.
