Chamonix Ski Hire
Chamonix’s reputation for big mountain skiing, world-class snow parks and dramatic scenery goes a long way in the world of snowsports. From high-altitude terrain to long valley descents, it’s a destination that offers everyone a thrill. If you’re planning to cover every inch of snow possible on your Chamonix trip, having the right equipment is essential for skiing comfortably, confidently, and safely throughout the area. That's where we step in.
Hiring your equipment means you can match your kit to the conditions and terrain in Chamonix without the cost or commitment of owning a complete set of skis or boots. It also removes the hassle of travelling with bulky ski bags, helping you avoid airline excess baggage fees and the effort of hauling equipment through airports, transfers and accommodation. Booking your Chamonix ski hire in advance with Erna Low makes the process even smoother. Your equipment is organised before you travel, so it’s ready and waiting when you arrive in the resort. This saves time on your first morning and lets you focus on getting straight onto the slopes rather than queuing in ski shops. Pre-booking also gives peace of mind, particularly during busy weeks, knowing your gear is secured.
With Erna Low, ski hire can be added easily to your holiday package, keeping everything in one place and managed by a team that understands Chamonix and its demands. It’s a simple, flexible way to travel lighter, ski smarter and make the most of your time in one of the world’s most iconic ski destinations.
How to book ski & snowboard equipment in Chamonix?
Booking your ski hire with Erna Low is straightforward and can be done in a few clicks. Simply select ‘Equipment Hire’ on the ski extras page and pick and choose what you want during the booking process.
We'll arrange collection at a convenient hire shop near your accommodation or chosen ski area, and provide all necessary documentation. Upon arrival, our ski hire partners will fit and provide the equipment based on a few basic details, such as height, helmet head size, and boot size, to ensure a proper fit. Everything's organised before you travel, guaranteeing equipment availability. It's genuinely hassle-free.
What is included in my Erna Low ski equipment hire package?
Our ski hire is flexible, allowing you to pick and choose what you need to make your Chamonix ski trip complete.
Choose a ski or snowboard pack that includes skis/snowboards (adjusted to your ability level), boots and poles (if you’re hiring skis). You can, of course, pick and choose what you want and hire these separately. For clarity, you can also opt for skis/snowboard only, boots only and helmet only - the perfect setup if you want to avoid carrying your skis or snowboard as extra luggage. When you book your ski hire with Erna Low, we'll clearly outline everything included in your chosen package so there are no surprises.

Should I book ski hire in advance or when I arrive?
In a word: advance. There are three main reasons why we always recommend pre-booking your gear before you leave the UK:
Pre-booking guarantees equipment availability, often secures better rates, and means everything's ready for collection when you arrive – no wasting holiday time queuing in busy shops. You'll also have certainty about costs before travelling.
