Canazei Ski Hire
Airport check-ins, oversized baggage fees, and the worry that your ski equipment won't make it onto the same flight as you add unnecessary stress to your holiday. By booking your ski hire in Canazei with Erna Low before you travel, you avoid the inconvenience of transporting bulky gear and enjoy a smoother, more relaxed start to your time in the mountains.
Canazei sits at the heart of the Dolomites in northern Italy, forming part of the Dolomiti Superski, which offers over 1,200km of runs across 12 sectors, and features some of the most spectacular mountain scenery anywhere in the Alps. From Canazei, you have direct access to the famous Sella Ronda circuit and the broader Dolomiti Superski network, with terrain suited to every ability level.
Whatever style of skiing you're planning in Canazei – whether that's carving groomers, exploring off-piste terrain, or simply building confidence on easier runs – our ski hire partners stock the equipment to match. You'll find quality brands, modern gear, and professional fitting services when you pick up your equipment at the resort. Secure your equipment hire with us and have everything sorted ahead of your departure for Canazei, with your kit allocated and ready for collection upon arrival.
How much does it cost to hire ski equipment in Canazei?
All our ski hire rates are set directly by our local hire partners in Canazei. Your ski hire costs will generally be determined by the equipment category you choose and the length of your rental. Beginner-level gear is priced to match its purpose and accessibility, while higher-performance equipment designed for more experienced skiers reflects the advanced engineering required to handle tougher terrain.
The length of your rental plays a significant role in overall value. Usually rented at a daily rate, a shorter-duration ski hire may cost less; however, booking over several consecutive days offers a better per-day rate. If you're staying in Canazei for at least six days, a week-long hire could offer more value. Our rates are transparent and clearly displayed so you can work out exactly what you’re paying.

Once confirmed, your equipment is locked in and allocated before you've even left home. When you arrive in Canazei, everything is ready and waiting for you at your designated hire shop.
