Decided to spread our business around and try these guys as a different ski hire firm Champoluc to our usual. The skis were good, but for the first time in 20 years not only were some of us charged for changing skis (an 8€ servicing surcharge) but also because we did it in the morning when we skied down on our first run from the hotel up the mountains about 9:30 we also surcharged for them not being able to rent the skis out again that day. Neither of these charge types were made clear at point of hire, one change was to get the right length of the exact same ski. Changing at the end of a day would have meant skiing down through poor slush snow as we were staying high up the mountain. The shop was full of that type of ski, and with the season at a near end there was minimal chance of someone else want to hire those skis.
It’s a pity, the equipment was good, the staff pleasant, but the failure to be upfront on these surcharges and being hard nosed in applying them means that this firm has lost the new business of a group of regular Champoluc visitors and also any chance of a recommendation to others.
Great shame for all involved and that the experience has driven me to write a review which I rarely if ever have done.
For me this was not about the money but the principles.

Ivan and his team could not be more helpful. They are friendly, knowledgable, patient and the equipment is excellent. The location of the shop is very close to the gondola. We wouldn’t rent from anywhere else. Thanks so much to Ivan and his team!

Being a repeat visitor to Champoluc, I can recommend to be served by one of the Swedish staff members and definitely NOT the Italian owner, who is incredibly rude. The Swedish staff team members are most knowledgable, who actually care and ensure you are well equipped with the best fit for the individual.

I have been renting skies in many countries and rental offices, but this is one of the best. You can really feel that you are served by professionals. Skies and boots are in excellent condition.

Good evening,
I am I right in thinking that your ski storage is just a few yards from the bottom of the gondola lift. Can you let me know the weekly cost of using the ski storage. This would be for 6 sets of skis the week of 18th February.
Regards,
Allan
Written January 18, 2019
Ciao Allan, yes we are 30/40 meter away from the Champoluc lift departure.
The price for the weekly storage is 16 € per person.

hi do you rent ski bikes.If not is there anywhere in Champoluc that does.are they allowed on the ski lifts
Written February 11, 2018
Ciao Fabian I'm sorry but we don't and I don't think that any one else does it in Champoluc.
I also doesen't know if they are allowed on the piste, for that you can contact the monterosa ski office.
Ciao
