Courtesy Transport

TAXI PLEASE - Courtesy Transport

It doesn’t feel like much of a holiday if you’re struggling to squash the family and all their kit onto a crowded ski bus – you might as well be on the tube!!!!

Don’t panic – call a taxi!

Snowberry courtesy transport services are available all weekend and we've got 5 landrovers and 5 dedicated drivers on-call.

We don't need any notice so if you need one just call:

06 16 28 50 08

Our courtesy transport services make Snowberry THE most convenient shop in Val d’Isere for everyone – no matter where you’re staying.

Why bother walking even a couple of hundred metres to a “traditional” shop where you have to converse through a language barrier and then carry all the kit back to your accommodation?

Overnight Storage

Overnight Storage

Unique in Val d'Isère and - unsurprisingly - one of our most popular free services!

No matter where you're staying in Val, our storage system makes Snowberry THE most convenient option all week long. Yes, there might be a closer hire shop on your first night, but we'll come and pick you up wherever you're staying.

During the week you leave your kit with us every evening saving you walking from the town centre to and from the pistes lugging it all. We're just 20 metres from the slopes and right by the main bus stops from every area of town.

The easiest option by far, whether you're a family with kids, you're staying out of the main centre or you just want to enjoy some après-ski without worrying about your skis getting stolen.

Gear Pickups

Gear Pickups

With some shops returning your kit at the end of the week can be more of a nightmare than the original hire process - everyone returns at the same time and the queues stretch out the door.

Rent from Snowberry and you don't have to worry - we'll come and pick it all up, leaving you free to get on with some last minute shopping or enjoy the last afternoon's après-ski.

You can even drop your skis back if you're passing and we'll come and get your boots later.

If you're staying in a chalet with one of our partner tour operators, we usually come and get everything on the last evening automatically so you don't even have to let us know. Otherwise give us a call on -

06 16 28 50 08

and we'll send a driver round at a time to suit.

Shoe Deliveries

Shoe Deliveries

If you’re arriving in the morning or early afternoon, you probably want to hit the slopes as fast as you can.

With other shops, once you’ve hired your kit you’ve then got to either take your equipment back to your accommodation and change out of your shoes and into your boots (a waste of valuable skiing time), or carry your shoes on the slopes in a backpack (not ideal, especially if you have children).

Hire your equipment from Snowberry and you can get out on the snow as soon as you have all your kit.

Leave your shoes with us, and come back later in the day to collect them – or we’ll even deliver them back to your chalet before the end of the day.

Gear Deliveries

Gear Deliveries

On your first evening, once you've finally arrived and got all your equipment, you might fancy a walk around town to show the children what a ski resort is all about, or a quiet drink to relax now that you've finally got here and got everything sorted.

You don't particularly want to have to lug the skis and boots that you've just hired around with you though!

No problem - leave the kit with us and we'll deliver it all back to your accommodation waiting for your return.

Damage Insurance

Damage Insurance

Other shops charge you a couple of euros a day per person to insure your skis against damage, and if you're a group or a family that can add up quite fast.

Then to add insult to injury, if your skis are damaged they charge you an "excess" that in many cases is as much as the skis cost them to buy in the first place!

We know accidents happen so we include free damage insurance for your hired equipment with no excess at all. You don't need to worry if your child falls over and breaks a pole!

The only exclusion is deliberate damage caused by skiing on roads or pavements, but we hope you're not stupid enough to do that anyway - not only does it ruin our skis, but it's highly dangerous and illegal!

No Quibble Refunds

No Quibble Refunds

If you're unlucky enough to hurt yourself during your holiday, some shops won't refund you at all for the early return of your equipment and others will only do so with a medical certificate.

We don't think that's fair, so if you rent directly through us and return your equipment early we will refund you immediately for the full unused period.

What's more, our refund policy doesn't just apply to injuries. No matter why you return your kit, whether you're ill or injured yourself, have to stop skiing to look after a sick child or even just find out you don't like skiing after all, you only pay for the time you have the equipment.

We can't say fairer than that!

Superfeet Footbeds

Superfeet Footbeds

Foot stabilisation is one of the most important aspects of getting your rental boots right and crucial to your skiing enjoyment.

An unstabilised foot moves around inside the boot, leading to rubbing, pressure, blisters and general pain. You'll want to clamp your boots up over the instep area to gain some kind of control but this cuts off the blood supply to your toes, gives you cold feet, and can cause excruitiating pain.

The 'Superfeet' skier orthotics we use in all our boots support and stabilise the foot inside the boot, solving the vast majority of problems you may have been experiencing inside your ski boots for years.

Since we introduced them, we’ve seen a drastic reduction in people coming in to change uncomfortable boots midweek and a drastic increase in people asking to buy our rental boots!

Kids Helmets

Kids Helmets

Don’t be fooled by shops which offer you a free helmet then tell you on arrival that they’ve run out, or which seem really cheap until you have to pay full price to add a helmet when you arrive.

We take children’s safety very seriously, so a certified safety helmet is included free with Premium or Economy children’s kit AND we guarantee to have one available as well.

We also fit and adjust all helmets properly, and show parents how to make sure their children get it right every morning too.

And because head injuries don’t stop at the age of 12 more and more adults are wearing helmets on the slopes now too. We’ve been at the forefront of this trend and have the widest range of adults’ rental helmets in town and plenty of bigger sizes too.
