Ski Higher

Whether you're a complete beginner, a family getting everyone organised for the week or an experienced skier looking for something more performance-orientated, the emphasis is on good-quality equipment, knowledgeable advice and straightforward service.

The shop is on the ground floor of the Grand Bois building, just over the bridge and right beside the main piste. It's the larger of the business's two physical shops and is particularly convenient if you're staying in La Tania and want to collect your equipment close to the slopes.

Ski hire for all levels

There's a broad selection of rental skis covering different abilities and styles of skiing, from comfortable, forgiving equipment for beginners and improving intermediates through to higher-performance models for experienced skiers.

Rather than simply handing out the same type of ski to everyone, the team can help match your equipment to your skiing level, budget and the snow conditions during your stay.

The rental range includes equipment from major ski manufacturers such as Atomic, Dynastar, Fischer, Head, Movement, Nordica, Rossignol, Salomon, Stöckli and Völkl, amongst others.

Snowboards, ski boots and children's equipment are also available, making it easy to organise equipment for couples, families and mixed groups in one place.

If you're an experienced skier with something more specific in mind, there are higher-performance and premium equipment options available too.

Experienced advice and fitting

Good ski hire is about more than simply choosing the right length of ski.

The shop is supported by experienced ski technicians who can advise on the most appropriate equipment, help with boot fitting and make sure your set-up is correctly adjusted before you head onto the mountain.

That personal advice can be particularly useful if you're unsure what type of ski will best suit you, your skiing has improved since your last holiday or the week's conditions call for something a little different.

The team are familiar with skiing throughout Courchevel and the wider Three Valleys, so recommendations can take into account both your experience and the terrain you're likely to be exploring.

Staff speak both English and French, making the fitting process straightforward for British visitors who would prefer to discuss equipment and any technical questions in English.

Equipment for children and families

Families are well catered for, with skis, boots and other equipment available for younger skiers as well as adults.

Getting children's equipment properly sized and adjusted can make a considerable difference to how comfortable they feel on the mountain, so having experienced staff available to help with fitting is particularly useful.

La Tania itself is particularly popular with families, and the shop's central, piste-side position means there's very little carrying of equipment before or after a day's skiing.

More than just rental equipment

As well as skis, snowboards and boots for hire, the shop carries a good selection of useful ski accessories and essentials.

You'll find items such as helmets, goggles, sunglasses, hats, gloves and socks available to buy, which is useful if you've forgotten something, need to replace an item during the holiday or decide the weather requires an extra layer.

The physical shop also means you have somewhere conveniently located to return if you need advice or assistance with your equipment during your stay.

Right in the centre of La Tania

One of the biggest advantages of this shop is its location.

La Tania is a compact, largely pedestrianised ski village with direct access into the Courchevel ski area and, from there, the rest of the Three Valleys. Having the rental shop immediately beside the main piste means collecting equipment and getting started on the mountain is particularly straightforward.

It's a practical option for anyone staying in La Tania who prefers the traditional ski-shop experience and wants to deal face-to-face with experienced technicians.
