Les Gets Ski Hire
Book your Les Gets ski hire with Erna Low and dodge the overall faff of lugging heavy ski equipment with you on your ski break to the iconic Portes du Soleil.
Les Gets sits at the gateway to one of the largest linked ski areas in the world, spanning 600km of pistes across 12 resorts straddling the French and Swiss Alps. With all that on offer, you’ll need to be kitted up the right way to get the best out of Les Gets and the ski areas' world-class slopes.
From well-waxed carving skis to fine-tuned freeride gear, all of our ski hire partners in Les Gets stock the best, industry-leading gear for all ability levels. Booking as part of your holiday package means your equipment is confirmed and ready for pick up upon arrival in Les Gets.
How much does it cost to hire ski equipment in Les Gets?
The cost of ski hire in Les Gets is determined by two key factors: the equipment category you choose and the duration of your rental. As you move through the available categories from entry-level through to premium performance gear, pricing reflects the increasing quality, technology, and responsiveness of the equipment at each level. Rental duration also plays a significant role in overall cost. Booking equipment for a full week or an extended number of days consistently offers a more favourable per-day rate than hiring for just one or two days.
Booking through Erna Low means complete pricing transparency from start to finish, with all costs clearly displayed before you confirm - and no hidden charges to contend with afterwards. Our hire rates are agreed directly with our local partners in Les Gets, so you benefit from genuine in-resort pricing alongside the convenience of having everything pre-arranged before you leave home.

What level of equipment do I need for my ski holiday in Les Gets?
Picking the right equipment level for your Les Gets holiday is about being honest with yourself about where you are as a skier. The Portes du Soleil offers an enormous variety of terrain across its 600km ski area, and having kit that's properly suited to your ability will make a tangible difference to your comfort, control, and enjoyment across the mountain.
There are four equipment categories to suit every level of skier:
- Eco is the ideal entry point for complete beginners or skiers returning to the slopes after a lengthy break. It's designed to be manageable and forgiving on the gentler runs that Les Gets has in good supply.
- Evolution is a strong fit for developing skiers who are growing in confidence and beginning to tackle blue and some red runs with increasing fluency and control.
- Sensation is aimed at solid intermediates who want equipment that performs across a broader range of conditions – handling steeper pistes and higher speeds with greater assurance.
- Excellence represents the top of the range, built for advanced skiers who want precision engineering, modern design, and maximum stability when pushing hard across challenging terrain.
Can I hire ski equipment for young children in Les Gets?

Equipment can be arranged for children from age 3, including skis, boots, and helmets, ensuring younger members of the family are properly equipped and safe on the slopes from the outset.

FAQs
