Flaine is a high-altitude, purpose-built resort designed for skiers, offering easy access to the Grand Massif. With the ski areas' varied terrain and reliable snow conditions, having the right ski equipment is essential to how much you enjoy your time on the mountain.
Booking ski hire as part of your complete Erna Low package means everything's organised together in one straightforward transaction. It's totally hassle-free, and once sorted, all your equipment details are confirmed before departure.

You simply pick up your equipment when you get to Flaine; it's that simple. Pre-booking your equipment with us also guarantees you'll have early pick (or first dibs) on the right equipment, especially during peak periods like Christmas and February half-term, when popular sizes and premium equipment can get scarce and reserved for long periods.
