About
Tignes Spirit is the only independent, British-owned ski and snowboard shop in the Espace Killy. Based in Tignes, we stock independent brands of hardware and apparel, including Salomon, Head, Elan, Movement, Majesty, Dalbello, Nike, Burton, Endeavor, Signal, Airblaster, Ashbury, Stance, Butta, Dragon Alliance and many others. Our ski and snowboard rental service is the best in Tignes, offering a free delivery and collection service which saves you the time and hassle you would usually experience trekking to the rental shop. The quality of products and the low prices we offer, by far outshine all other rental shops, whilst our English and French speaking technicians have been hand-picked for their extensive technical knowledge and amazing customer service skills. Our entire crew live for the snow and were the best UK shop team at the British Championships in 2013 and 2014, winning the most medals across the board! The latest in touring skis, split-boards, snow shoes and cross-country equipment are all available for rent and purchase at Tignes Spirit. We offer daily rates so that you can rent different equipment for each day of your holiday... if you want to! We have the latest in children's ski and snowboard equipment, stocking skis as small as 70cm, along with 70cm snowboards used for the Burton Riglet programme. (All children receive a free helmet as part of their package.) Tignes Spirit is the only rental service to offer outerwear and protective clothing hire to chalets and apartments all over the Espace Killy area. Based in le lavachet, our shop doubled in size in early 2014, so we are now able to give a quality service to even more people at any given time! Our opening hours are 7am until very late, ensuring that all clients are catered for. You need not worry if you are delayed way beyond the closing time of most rental shops and need to be kitted out before the panic of ski school start times the next day. We will ensure that you and your entire party are kitted out and can enjoy maximum slope time. Our workshop is also based in Tignes le lavachet, just down the steps from our main shop. As well as servicing our large rental fleet, we provide repairs and servicing to anyone who wishes to give their plank(s) some tender loving care! Skis and snowboards previously thought to be damaged beyond repair, have been brought back to life by our well-trained and highly experienced technicians for amazingly competitive prices. Tignes Spirit is the go-to shop for all visitors to Tignes. With our great links and relationships with other businesses throughout the Espace Killy, we can organise holiday accommodation and transfers in all areas of Tignes and Val d'Isere, as well as an easy and affordable, quality equipment rental service.

- haygCornwall, United Kingdom5 contributionsFantastic serviceWe are just back from a week in Tignes where we opted to use Tignes Spirit for our ski rental. Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish. Skis delivered to our chalet and collected at the end made it so simple for our group of 9. Fab kit too. Loved our skis. Will definitely use again. Thanks guys!Visited December 2022Traveled with familyWritten January 2, 2023
- Anne S1 contributionFantastic Skis in Excellent Condition and Great ServiceI am just back from 5 days of the best Skiing in a long time in Tignes, where I rented a pair of Elan Ripstick 96s from Tignes Spirit. I want to say a big thank you to the team at Tignes Spirit for the class skis, they were in perfect condition and I had the best week on my off-piste course, with their equipment. I will definitively use this hire shop on my next visit to Tignes.Visited January 2023Written January 29, 2023
- Neil MShadwell, United Kingdom3 contributionsExceptional customer serviceEverything about this store was fantastic, from the online ordering to the regular communication pre-departure and the lift to and from our hotel to the store. In the store all of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming and were obviously trying to ensure maximum customer satisfaction. We were helped by Joe and he spent time making sure all of our equipment was comfortable and appropriate and did so with enthusiasm. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.Visited December 2022Traveled on businessWritten February 2, 2023
- Katie H4 contributionsTignes Spirit Rentals - highly recommend!!Everyone was so lovely when I picked up and dropped off my skis & poles. Put my mind at ease that everyone was British (I can’t speak French.. not even a little bit), so there was no communication barrier. The equipment was of a high quality. I couldn’t recommend Tignes Spirit Rentals enough. I’ll definitely be hiring from them again.Visited December 2022Traveled with friendsWritten February 4, 2023
- Leah B1 contributionSuper friendly staffI had never skied before and the staff were really friendly despite me feeling out of my comfort zone. Handing the equipment back was also hassle free and super easy. I also got everything for a really great price. I’d definitely recommend:)Visited December 2022Traveled with familyWritten February 4, 2023
- Eddy G1 contribution5 start serviceStaff at Tignes Spirit were very helpful, attentive and knowleadgable. Very flexible in allowing my friend to change his boots after one day and picking up our hires from where we were staying on the final day. Would certainly recommend.Visited December 2022Traveled with friendsWritten February 4, 2023
- Conor N5 contributionsAmazing service and the BEST equipment in the Alps!Great guys, really helpful. They picked me up from my apartment and drove me to the shop. The brand new board (Burton Custom Flying V) was waiting for me, ready to go. The equipment and bindings were the best I’ve ever had from a rental and I’ve been boarding for 30 years. Can’t recommend these guys enough. Going back in March. Thank you so much.Visited January 2023Traveled soloWritten February 8, 2023
- Linda J1 contributionExcellent helpful and supportive serviceGreat friendly staff, they allowed time to discuss experience and level of skiing with us in order to fit us with the best equipment. They were very patient with me as I struggled with the boots. Lots of helpful advice on where to go for slopes suited to my level.Visited December 2022Traveled with friendsWritten February 8, 2023
- matt a5 contributionsThe bestThis was the second time I've hired skis and a board from Tignes Spirit and will absolutely use them again when visiting the resort. They make it super easy at the start of the holiday, brought everything to our chalet and helped ensure all boots and skis were exactly right for our family, on the last day they collected the kit at a prearranged time so it couldn't have been easier. Also on day 3 i wanted to change the bindings on my board, I was collected from the bottom of the slopes, driven to the shop, bindings were quickly changed, then driven back to the piste, awesome. Really friendly guys and couldn't recommend more highly. Thanks very much!Visited December 2022Written February 13, 2023

Seamless service from uk and in Tignes . Great communication , no question to small or silly (we asked a lot because we’d never rented before . Website was easy to use too.
We had a problem with one of our beginner boards being damaged but it was swapped no questions asked. They provide a delivery and end of holiday collection service which was great value for a tenner … can’t fault them at all.

I usually come to Val annually, either with family or friends. Every time I come, I have almost always used Tignes Spirit, whether I was in Tignes, Val or Le Fornet. They have always been incredibly accommodating no matter the challenge. Whether we were arriving late to the chalet, or there was a last-minute change to our booking or one of the kids lost their helmet or we needed to change skis, Tignes Spirit were always courteous, professional and efficient. It goes without saying I will only ever use them for our ski hire service! Thank you Tignes Spirit and we can't wait to see you on our next trip.

We were fitted out in our chalet the evening we arrived and the equipment was picked up after our last afternoon on the slopes. Couldn't fault, They rang the next day to check all was okay and two small issues on binding adjustments were sorted out as soon as they were reported. They were happy to exchange one of our party's snowboard for skis after one fall on the backside too many.
I was very happy with the equipment and with the excellent customer service. I wouldn't hesitate using them again if we are in Tignes or Val D'isere. Thanks :)

This is a popular rental location and for good reason. The staff were excellent, really friendly and helpful. Due to a crash on the main road, we were severely delayed on our transfer from the airport but the shop stayed open very late for us and others arriving that day. We hired skis then later in the week snowboards as well and they were happy to be flexible with our arrangements. When there was a problem with one of the boards, a technician came out to the slope to replace it - great service!

This was my second return to the guys at Tignes Spirit. Each time they have been been very communicative, and all the folk I spoke with being really knowledgeable. Our rental of split boards, crampons and poles was a little out of the ordinary, but Tignes Spirit dealt with the request easily. They were willing to bring a selection around to our apartment in order to ensure we got the most appropriate kit. Now, that's a good service ! Would happily recommend this business, and will almost certainly deal with again.
