Which ski range to hire in Chamrousse

There are four alpine ski ranges, from €14 to €42 a day for a full set. Choose by how you ski, not by how long you are staying:

• Beginner — soft, stable skis to build confidence on green and blue runs. From €22/day.
• Intermediate — versatile all-round skis for skiers who are comfortable on blues and reds and want to cover the whole area. From €30/day.
• Advanced — stiffer, more precise skis for reds, blacks and hard early-morning snow. From €42/day.
• Children — children's sizes, light and easy to handle. From €14/day.

What each pack includes

• Full set: skis, boots and poles.
• Skis + poles: if you bring your own boots.
• Boots only: if you bring your own skis. If you need poles, add them for €4/day.

Extras you can add when booking: a ski helmet (€6/day), poles (€4/day, if your pack does not include them) and equipment damage insurance (€3/day). Helmets are not included in any pack.
