ItemWhat to check
Skis or snowboardMatch the category to ability and intended use, not just the lowest headline price.
BootsCheck whether boots are included and allow time for fitting. A shoe-size entry is not a fit guarantee.
HelmetCheck the pack and local rules. Confirm fit in the shop; a helmet is not part of every package.
ChildrenCheck the rental age category, the child’s size and ability, and whether extras are included.
Rental periodCompare the full period, collection and return times rather than multiplying a daily teaser price.

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.
