Equipment, destination and a good start
Ski hire in Les Deux Alpes: prices and equipment
Arrange ski hire in Les Deux Alpes around the address where you are staying. Collecting boots, skis and children's equipment is easier when the shop fits your arrival route and first ski day. Compare packages on the same dates and check the collection location before choosing solely on price.
Know the place before choosing a shop
The destination includes the main resort as well as the distinct villages of Venosc and Mont de Lans. These are not interchangeable collection addresses.
Confirm whether you are staying in the main resort, Venosc or Mont de Lans. If your journey depends on the Venosc gondola, check its current operation before scheduling collection or returning equipment.

Choose equipment for each person
| Item | What to check |
|---|---|
| Skis or snowboard | Match the category to ability and intended use, not just the lowest headline price. |
| Boots | Check whether boots are included and allow time for fitting. A shoe-size entry is not a fit guarantee. |
| Helmet | Check the pack and local rules. Confirm fit in the shop; a helmet is not part of every package. |
| Children | Check the rental age category, the child’s size and ability, and whether extras are included. |
| Rental period | Compare the full period, collection and return times rather than multiplying a daily teaser price. |
A practical pickup plan
Compare the collection point with your accommodation, lift access and arrival time. Confirm opening hours for your actual collection day, whether advance-evening collection is offered, and the return deadline. These details can differ between shops.
After payment, save the confirmation and collection documents offline. The number and format of vouchers depend on the chosen booking. Bring the documents requested by the shop; fitting and binding adjustment take place with the rental staff.

Before you travel
Local taxes and accommodation check-in
- Local tourist tax. Check whether your accommodation booking includes tourist tax. The amount varies by municipality and lodging category; under-18s are normally exempt.
- Accommodation arrival form. Non-French guests, including other EU nationals, complete an arrival form with their host. This is separate from ski rental.
Check the municipality of your accommodation, not just the ski-area name. The rules depend on the stay and the traveller’s status, not the language of this page.

Is Venosc another name for the main resort centre?
No. It is a separate village linked to the resort by gondola. Check the address and the connection for your travel dates.
What should I compare in a family ski-rental booking?
Compare each person's rental dates, equipment category and the inclusion of boots and helmets. Check whether the same shop can handle the collection you need before completing payment.
Are boots and helmets always included?
No. Check the selected offer. Boots and helmets may be included or offered as extras; compare the complete amount for the same equipment.
Can adults and children rent equipment together?
Enter each person in the booking service and check categories, age limits and sizes. A children’s package does not necessarily contain the same items as an adult package.
How many collection vouchers will I receive?
The number and format depend on the chosen service and booking. Keep all confirmations and follow the collection instructions provided after payment.
