Ischgl Ski Hire
What's the point in wrestling heavy ski bags through duty-free when you can easily secure quality equipment with us online for your Ischgl ski break?
Booking your hire in Ischgl is a genuinely brilliant option, and not just because it saves you the airport baggage drama.

Whether you're after carving skis, a freeride setup, or a full snowboard kit, you'll find it all with us.
The Silvretta Arena connects Ischgl with the Swiss resort of Samnaun across 238km of perfectly groomed pistes - and the right pair of skis makes every one of those kilometres count. Hiring with us online means your equipment is always properly maintained, correctly fitted, and ready to handle whatever the mountain throws at it. Booking your equipment with us means you can arrange your ski hire as part of your holiday package before you travel. You can forget the chore of wandering around hire shops on your first morning, and the uncertainty about availability. With your skis sorted, you can focus entirely on getting out onto those slopes.
How much does it cost to hire ski equipment in Ischgl?
Ski hire in Ischgl varies depending on the equipment level you select and how long you need it. Most rental shops offer a range of options, from basic sets for beginners to higher-performance skis and snowboards for more experienced skiers. As you move up through the categories, the price typically increases to reflect the equipment's quality and technology.
The length of your rental period also plays a key role. Booking for several days or a full week usually works out better value per day than shorter hires.
