Equipment, destination and a good start
Ski hire in Ortisei: prices and equipment
For ski hire in Ortisei, check the named village rather than choosing a result labelled only Val Gardena. The valley contains several destinations and uses more than one local language. Compare the exact shop and equipment package together so a familiar regional name does not hide an inconvenient collection journey.
Know the place before choosing a shop
Ortisei is one of the three villages of Val Gardena. The other two are Santa Cristina and Selva di Val Gardena; the regional name is not a single collection location.
Keep Ortisei as your destination when checking the shop address. Look for a collection point that fits your accommodation and first-day plans; do not choose another valley village solely because the catalogue uses the same regional name.

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
- Check the local overnight tax. Italian resort taxes are local. Ask your accommodation for the amount, child exemptions, chargeable nights and whether the booking already includes it.
- Identity documents at accommodation check-in. Hosts register Italian and overseas guests through Alloggiati Web. Bring valid identity documents, including for children; our rental search does not need passport uploads.
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.

Does a Val Gardena result necessarily mean a shop in Ortisei?
No. Val Gardena includes three villages. Check the exact village and full shop address before completing the booking.
How should I compare packages for different members of the group?
Compare the appropriate age and equipment categories for each person, using the same rental period. Check boots and helmets separately and confirm the collection arrangements with the selected shop.
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.
