Bardonecchia Ski Hire
Oversized baggage fees and the risk of damaged equipment in transit aren't the ideal precursor to a dream Italian ski retreat. Book your ski hire in Bardonecchia with Erna Low before you travel and leave the hassle to us.
Bardonecchia sits at the head of the Susa Valley in the Italian Alps, offering 140km of pistes spread across four distinct ski areas – Campo Smith, Melezet, Jafferau and Colomion – each with its own character and terrain, collectively delivering varied skiing suited to all ability levels. Regardless of what your overall goals are in Bardonecchia (carving, bombing, freeriding) or what ski level you are, our ski hire partners are well stocked to offer you the best equipment you need. You’ll find the top brands, trending equipment and professional fitting services in store.
Book your equipment as part of your Erna Low holiday package and it's all locked in before you leave home. Your kit is allocated and ready to collect on arrival – no availability worries, just straight onto Bardonecchia's slopes from day one.
How much does it cost to hire ski equipment in Bardonecchia?
The equipment category and rental length mainly determine the cost of ski hire in Bardonecchia. Entry-level gear for beginners generally costs less than high-performance equipment, which manufacturers build with superior technology for extreme terrain. As you move up through the categories, you'll notice a clear improvement in how the equipment handles varied terrain and changing snow conditions.
The length of ski hire also impacts the cost. Committing to a full week or multiple consecutive days consistently delivers better value during the holiday period than hiring for just a day or two. So if you're visiting Bardonecchia for at least 6 days, a weekly hire makes solid financial sense. Our rates are set directly by our local hire partners in Bardonecchia, and all pricing is transparent and clearly displayed before you confirm your order.
How do I book ski and snowboard equipment in Bardonecchia?
You can book your ski equipment for Bardonecchia as part of your online ski holiday booking with us. After confirming your flights and transfers, you'll reach our ‘Ski Extras’ page, where all available equipment options for your trip are clearly presented for you to browse.
Choose the equipment type that matches your current ability, and add it to your basket. Pricing is clearly shown at every stage, so you'll know exactly what you're paying before reaching checkout. When you arrive in Bardonecchia, your equipment will be confirmed and ready to collect with ease, no last-minute scrambling - just a smooth start to your skiing across Bardonecchia's four varied sectors.

What Level of Equipment Do I need for my ski holiday in Bardonecchia?
We always recommend selecting equipment that best suits your current skiing and confidence level on the slopes. With 140km of pistes spread across four distinct sectors – each offering its own mix of gentle blues through to steeper, more technical runs – having equipment that genuinely reflects where you are as a skier now will make a real difference to your overall experience on the mountain. We offer four equipment categories covering every stage of skiing development:
- Eco equipment is beginner-level equipment, best for easy, gentle greens and nursery slopes. This is ideal for newbies and first-timers.
- Evolution-graded equipment is designed for skiers transitioning from beginner to intermediate levels, offering better feedback and control than entry-level gear.
- Sensation is designed for solid intermediates who want equipment that performs across a wider range of terrain.
- Excellence is the premium option, built for advanced skiers seeking high levels of precision.
