Samoëns Ski Hire
Leave the (bulky) ski bags at home - your arms, your purse, and your patience will thank you for it. Hiring ski equipment for your Samoëns holiday is one of the simplest ways to make your trip to the Grand Massif smoother from the start, and the benefits are hard to argue with.
Skipping the ski bag means no awkward, oversized luggage to wrestle through airports, no excess baggage fees and no worries about equipment getting damaged in transit. Your travel is significantly lighter (both literally and figuratively), and you arrive in the Grand Massif feeling grand yourself.
Apart from the convenience of travelling without all the bulk, hiring in resort means you get access to current, well-maintained equipment that's properly fitted to you. This matters more than most realise, as well-fitted boots and correctly set-up skis make a tangible difference on the mountain, particularly across a varied ski area like the Grand Massif. Arranging your hire through Erna Low is built into the holiday booking process, making it super easy to complete, with zero fuss and zero delays.
How much does it cost to hire ski equipment in Samoëns?
Your ski hire cost in Samoëns will vary depending on the level and quality of equipment you choose, as well as the length of your rental.
The level of equipment affects pricing and overall cost, with beginner equipment usually priced lower, while higher-performance skis or snowboards designed for more experienced skiers may cost more. The duration of your hire also affects the overall price, with better daily value typically offered for longer bookings. When booking with Erna Low, you simply select the type and level of equipment you need, along with your preferred hire dates. The total cost will then be clearly displayed before you confirm your booking and will be added to your overall holiday price. There are no hidden fees, and you wouldn't be paying more by booking through us, as our ski hire prices are set directly by our trusted local partners in Samoëns, ensuring competitive in-resort rates while keeping everything organised in one place.

Simply choose the type of equipment you need, select the level that matches your ability and enter your hire dates. Add it to your order and continue with the rest of your booking. The price will be clearly shown before you confirm, so you know exactly what you’re paying. There are no complicated forms or extra steps. Once your booking is complete, your equipment will be reserved in advance and ready for collection in Samoëns upon arrival. Pre-booking helps secure the correct sizes and equipment level, especially during busy weeks. It also means less time organising details in the resort and more time getting ready for your first day on the slopes.

What Level of Equipment Do I need for my ski holiday in Samoëns?
Picking the right or wrong equipment level can make or break your trip. When selecting your level, be honest about where your skiing is at, as getting it wrong will directly affect your performance and enjoyment on the Samoëns slopes. We (and our ski hire partners) offer four hire levels to help you find the right match.
Eco is the most affordable option, best suited to beginners or occasional skiers who need a reliable, functional kit without any performance extras. Evolution is a solid mid-range choice for improvers and intermediates who are progressing steadily and want equipment that supports their development. Sensation steps things up further, offering higher-performance skis for confident intermediates and advanced skiers who want a more responsive ride across Samoëns' varied terrain. Excellence is the premium tier, providing top-of-the-range equipment for experienced skiers who want the best available.
The right equipment for your ability will always serve you better on the slopes than a kit that doesn't match your needs.
Can I hire ski equipment for young children in Samoëns?
Yes, children's ski equipment is available for hire in Samoëns, and you can add it to your Erna Low booking in the same way as adult hire.
Where do I pick up my ski equipment in Samoëns?
Your hired equipment will be ready and waiting for pickup at our named ski hire vendor. A few days before your departure, your Erna Low ski hire voucher will be available to download from the members' area of your Erna Low account. Download the voucher to a mobile device and present it to the staff at the named ski hire shop when you get to Samoëns. You wouldn't need to print it as digital versions are widely accepted.
Once confirmed, your hired equipment will be prepared for collection. You’ll also be sized and fitted for your hired boots, poles, helmets, and any other gear to ensure everything is correctly adjusted and comfortable before you head out onto the mountain. The whole process is designed to be quick and straightforward, getting you on the Samoëns slopes with as little delay as possible.
