Corvara Ski Hire
Enjoy a relaxed, hassle-free start to your ski holiday in Corvara by hiring your ski equipment with Erna Low. It saves you from expensive baggage fees and the stress of travelling with your own skis and boots.
Corvara is a key stop on the Sella Ronda, giving you access to varied terrain suited to every ability level. Whether you're building confidence on the gentle Arlara or carving the Boè Red on the circuit, having the right equipment will make a genuine difference to how much you'll enjoy your time on the mountain. Our ski hire partners in Corvara provide high-quality, well-maintained skis and snowboards designed to suit all skiing styles and terrain – all of which can be sorted in advance when booking with us.
You can secure your ski equipment with Erna Low as part of your Corvara holiday package and have it allocated and ready for collection before you’ve even left home. The benefit? It’s one less thing to worry about, and another thing crossed off the list until nothing stands between you and those Dolomite slopes.
How much does it cost to hire ski equipment in Corvara?
The cost of ski hire in Corvara is mainly calculated by the type of equipment you choose and the length of your rental period. Beginner ski packages are generally the most affordable, while premium and advanced equipment is priced higher due to the improved technology, materials and performance they offer on the slopes. As you move through the different equipment categories, you'll typically notice better stability, responsiveness and comfort across a wider range of terrain and snow conditions.
Regarding rental duration, longer rentals, such as week-long bookings, usually offer better value per day than shorter rentals. If you're spending most of the week skiing in Corvara, choosing a longer rental period is often the most cost-effective option. Our ski hire partners in Corvara set rental rates, so you’re not paying a penny more with us.
How do I book ski and snowboard equipment in Corvara?
Simplify your trip by adding Corvara ski hire to your Erna Low booking. After you choose your flights and transfers, we’ll take you to our ‘Ski Extras’ page, where you can browse all available equipment options for your holiday.
You can hire your gear in complete ski packs (skis, boots, and poles) or snowboard packs (board and boots) - or simply pick individual items if you’re bringing your own gear. Add a helmet separately to complete your kit. Select the equipment that matches your needs and proceed with your order; our team will have everything confirmed and ready for you to collect when you arrive in Corvara.
