Ski hire in Jaca for Candanchú and Astún

Ski hire in Jaca is for anyone staying in town and skiing Jaca-Candanchú or Jaca-Astún: you book your gear online, pick it up fitted to your size at our shop in Jaca the evening before, and in the morning you head straight for the slopes with no queue at the resort. If you would rather collect it up the valley, next to the lifts, see our ski rental in Astún and ski rental in Candanchú.

Which range should I choose?

You pick the range when booking; the shop sets the ski length when you collect them, based on your height, weight and ability.

• Ski Bronce — for beginners and anyone who skis a few days a year on green and blue runs: easy-turning skis. Full set, €16 a day.
• Ski Plata — for confident skiers on blues and reds who want more stability at speed. Full set, €20 a day.
• Ski Kids — children's full set, with bindings set to the child's weight. €14 a day.
• Snowboard — board and boots: Bronce €21 a day, Kids €14 a day.
• Snowshoes — for walking in the valley or on Candanchú's snowshoe trail. €13 a day.

What does the hire include?

• Ski full set: skis with bindings adjusted to your weight, height and level, boots and poles.
• Snowboard: board and boots. When booking you tell us which foot goes forward (or "not sure").
• Snowshoes: a pair of snowshoes.

Helmets are not included and cannot be booked on this page.

Where and when do I collect the gear?

• Shop: our pick-up shop in Jaca. The address and phone number come in your confirmation email.
• Opening hours (subject to change): Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 18:30–20:30; Friday 17:30–22:00; Saturday 7:00–10:00 and 17:00–21:00; Sunday 7:00–10:00 and 16:30–20:30. Wednesday is not listed.
• The evening before: most people collect on arrival in Jaca; on day one you leave for the slopes whenever you like, gear already in the car.
• Early on weekends: on Saturday and Sunday the shop opens 7:00–10:00, so you can be on your way before the lifts open (9:00 in Astún).
• Return: at the same shop in Jaca, during opening hours, after your last day.

From Jaca to Candanchú and Astún

Candanchú is 28 km from Jaca and 11 km from Canfranc, right by the French border, according to the resort's official website, and a wide road climbs the valley from Jaca. Astún sits right next to Candanchú, at the head of the same valley, and belongs to the municipality of Jaca.

Without a car: the local authority (Mancomunidad Alto Valle del Aragón) stopped running the Jaca–Astún bus on 20 April 2026 and the operator Avanza continues the service, with its own timetables and fares. Shuttle buses link Astún and Candanchú, with timetables published by the resorts. If you'd rather not bring the gear down every evening, Candanchú has a ski locker room at the foot of the slopes (8:30–17:15) and Astún offers ski storage too.

How booking works

1. Choose ski, snowboard or snowshoes and the range: Bronce, Plata or Kids.
2. Select your pick-up and return dates: the total shows straight away.
3. For each person, enter shoe size (EU), height and weight; for snowboard, your front foot.
4. Pay the full rental online: there is nothing else to pay at the shop.
5. Collect your gear ready in Jaca. Free cancellation up to 24 h before pick-up and the CaranvaSports Guarantee.

Sizes, boots and kids

You don't need to know your ski length: the shop sets it from your height, weight and level. What matters is your shoe size: try the boots on with ski socks when you collect them, and if something isn't right they swap it there and then. The Kids set (€14 a day) comes with bindings set to the child's weight. One booking can include up to 20 sets, so the whole family or group collects at once.

Tips for skiing from Jaca

• Collect your gear the evening you arrive: in the morning you just load the car.
• Before driving up, check the Astún webcam or the Candanchú webcam, and carry snow chains or winter tyres.
• If you're only skiing one day and don't want skis in the car, collecting at the foot of the slopes in Astún or Candanchú may suit you better.
