Livigno Ski Hire
Book an Erna Low ski hire ahead of your trip to Livigno and enjoy a ‘hands-free’ journey to and from the iconic Alta Valtelinna ski area.
Perched high in the Italian Alps, near the Swiss border, Livigno is a vibrant resort famous for its fantastic snow record and remarkably long season. Sitting at 1816m at resort level with slopes reaching as high as 2900m, Livigno offers 115km of varied pistes split across two main areas – Mottolino and Carosello. Both areas cater brilliantly to all ski abilities so whatever your ski level, we’ve got the gear you need to help you make the most of this brilliant ski area. Erna Low's ski hire partners in Livigno stock well-serviced, modern equipment properly matched to your skiing level and ready to handle whatever the mountain throws at you.
We’ve simplified the hiring process, allowing you to include your ski equipment as part of your overall booking, and have it already had it ticked off your list before you've even started packing. Everything gets confirmed ahead of time, allocated to you specifically, and ready for collection the moment you arrive in Livigno.
How much does it cost to hire ski equipment in Livigno?
What you pay for ski hire in Livigno comes down to two things: which equipment category you go for and how many days you need it. As you move up through the different levels, the kit gets noticeably better and the pricing reflects the step up in quality and performance. Beginner gear sits at the lower end of the price range, while high-spec equipment designed for experienced skiers costs more because of the technology and engineering packed into it.
How long you hire for makes a real difference to what you pay per day. Committing to a full week or multiple consecutive days works out considerably cheaper per day than just hiring for a couple of days here and there. If you're in Livigno for six days or longer, going for the weekly option makes solid financial sense and keeps things simpler too.
How do I book ski and snowboard equipment in Livigno?
Sorting your equipment hire takes minutes and slots straight into your main holiday booking. Once you've locked in your flights and transfers, you'll hit the 'Ski Extras' page where everything available for your Livigno trip is displayed.
You can choose either a ski (skis, boots, poles all together) or snowboard pack (board and boots), or cherry-pick individual equipment if you've already got some of your own gear. Skis always include poles. Add what you want to your basket and carry on through the booking. Once it's done, your equipment is locked in and guaranteed. When you land in Livigno, it's sitting there ready for you to collect.

What Level of Equipment Do I need for my ski holiday in Livigno?
Working out which equipment level to go for is pretty straightforward: pick the one that honestly matches where you are right now as a skier. Getting this right is the difference between having a kit that suits your ability versus a kit that doesn't can make or break your week on the mountain. There's zero upside to hiring gear that's either beyond your level or not up to what you can handle. We've got four equipment categories that cover everyone from complete beginners through to advanced skiers:
Can I hire ski equipment for young children in Livigno?
Yes, you can hire children's equipment in Livigno from age 3 upwards. The packages cover skis, boots, and helmets, so everyone in the family gets properly kitted out and kept safe right from the first run. Erna Low has two children's equipment categories that match different stages:
- The Espoir range is the go-to for new starters and the ideal gear for the little ones taking their first ploughs on the slopes.
- The Champion category is the next step up for children who've got the basics down and are ready for better equipment that helps them keep improving as their skiing develops.
Where do I pick up my ski equipment in Livigno?
Your ski hire voucher goes live in your Erna Low members' area a few days before you fly. It tells you exactly which shop to visit and how to find it in Livigno.
When you get there, pull up the voucher on your phone (no need for printing — digital works fine) and hand it over. The team will sort your fitting for boots, skis, poles, and helmet, making sure everything's comfortable and properly adjusted before you walk out. It's quick but thorough – they know what they're doing and they'll get you set up properly without wasting time.
