Kaprun Ski Hire
Lugging your skis through the airport is a workout nobody asked for. So, unless you’re endurance training, leave them at home and let us sort you out in Kaprun instead!
If you have a zero tolerance for stress on your holidays, booking your Kaprun ski hire in advance is one of the smartest decisions you can make. It immediately eliminates excess baggage fees and leaves your hands free to hold a latte, not jostle bulky ski bags through airport terminals. With ski hire booked for your ski break, you only need to pack your salopettes (and everything else) and head for the departure lounge.
We partner with the best ski hire vendors in Kaprun with a solid range of equipment to suit every ability level. Whether you're a first-timer getting to grips with the basics or a seasoned skier who simply doesn't fancy the hassle of travelling with kit, hiring your equipment gives you access to well-maintained, up-to-date equipment that's properly fitted to you.
And the best part? It’s all sorted ahead of your arrival when you book your ski holiday with us, and includes a ski hire option as part of your ski holiday package. With everything sorted in advance, there’ll be no traipsing round hire shops on your first morning, as your hired equipment - and the Kitzsteinhorn - will be patiently waiting.
How much does it cost to hire ski equipment in Bad Gastein?
Ski hire rates in Kaprun ( and all other resorts in the Alps) are largely dependent on the level and quality of equipment you choose, as well as how long you need it for. Ski hire across the Alps typically ranges from beginner sets to premium equipment. Higher-end equipment suited to advanced skiers typically costs more, while standard options are more budget-friendly.
The duration of your hire also affects the price. A full week’s hire often offers better value compared to shorter-term hire. When booking with us, you can easily select your preferred equipment level and rental period, and the total cost will be clearly shown before you confirm your booking. It’s also worth noting that you’re not paying extra by booking your hire with us. Our ski hire prices are set directly by our trusted resort partners, so you’re getting the same rates you would in resort, with the added convenience of organising everything in advance.
How do I book ski and snowboard equipment in Kaprun?
Booking ski and snowboard equipment with Erna Low is simple and can be done as part of your overall holiday booking. On our ‘Ski Extras’ page, you’ll find a range of equipment options available for hire. From there, you’ll simply need to select the type of skis or snowboard you want (according to the appropriate level) and add it to your basket.
Once added, you can continue through the booking process as normal, alongside your accommodation and other extras. Everything is clearly priced, so you’ll know exactly what’s included before you confirm. Your equipment will be ready for collection when you arrive in Kaprun, saving you time by avoiding shop-to-shop shopping. This makes it easy to get organised before you travel, so you can focus on getting out on the slopes as soon as possible.

What Level of Equipment Do I need for my ski holiday in Kaprun?
The level of equipment you choose for your Kaprun ski holiday should match your ability, confidence, and the type of skiing you plan to do, so choosing the right level ensures a smoother, more enjoyable experience on the slopes. With Erna Low, there are four main options: Eco, Evolution, Sensation and Excellence.
- Eco is best suited to beginners or skiers returning after a break. The equipment is stable and easy to control, making it ideal for learning on gentler slopes.
- Evolution is designed for improving skiers who are comfortable on blue runs and starting to explore reds. These skis are more responsive and up to date, helping you progress with confidence. Sensationsuits intermediate skiers who want better grip and performance across a wider range of conditions, including steeper terrain. Excellence is the top-level option, featuring high-performance equipment for advanced skiers. These skis are newer, more precise and built for speed, control and varied terrain.
Can I hire ski equipment for young children in Kaprun?

Equipment is available for children from as young as three years old, including skis, boots and helmets, so everything they need can be arranged in advance.
Where do I pick up my ski equipment in Kaprun?
