Hi everyone! We’re starting to plan our winter trip to Verbier, Switzerland. Since the resort is huge and quite exclusive, we have a question about ski rentals. What should we know in advance to ensure we have decent skis and don’t spend half the first day waiting in lines? I’ve heard there are some issues with logistics and equipment rental locations there. If you’ve been there before, please share your experiences.

Where is it best to rent gear-in the village near the Medran main lift or in the Les Chables valley where the train arrives? Are there significant differences in price and selection? Is it possible to find good skis there?

I went skiing there. The prices at the local shops are astronomical, especially for the premium or freeride lines. The good, new models sell out instantly first thing in the morning. Then there’s the time it takes to choose and try them on. In short, I wasted the first day of my vacation on that. A coworker told me about https://getski.com/ when I was telling him about my vacation. I’m definitely going to try that site next winter. You can book everything in advance, and my coworker raved about it, so you should definitely give it a try – it won’t be any worse than my experience. What kind of gear do you usually go for?
