Equipment Hire and Lessons

Beginners benefit from our great connections

We’re helping to make the ski slopes accessible to all with great discount offers with equipment hire and lesson providers.

Skiing for beginners can be as daunting as much as it is exciting. Everyone worries they’ll have two left feet once they’re on the skis or not know where to start when it comes to learning – there’s only so much you can learn from reading about it. Add this to the fact, beginners don’t want to shell out for new equipment just in case their skiing dreams don’t work out. We get it.

To help alleviate these points and ensure you get to experience the best beginners ski resorts for yourself, we’ve teamed up with some great third-party providers to provide you with the lessons by qualified instructors or the best equipment to hire.

We offer exceptionally priced equipment hire from the best local rental shops and have connections with the local ski schools. We can help arrange everything you’ll need to make this ski trip a holiday of a lifetime.
