How much is ski hire for several days in Chamonix?

Total for the full set by number of days. In Chamonix every day costs the same: the total is the daily price times the number of days, and you see it when you choose your dates, before paying.

Where and when do you collect and return the gear?

• Pick-up point: our shop in Chamonix (CaranvaSports Chamonix). The exact address comes in your booking confirmation email.
• Opening hours: the collection and return times come in that same email, together with the pick-up point.
• Return: at the same point, at the end of your last hire day.

Bear in mind that the Chamonix ski areas are not linked to each other by the slopes (except Brévent and Flégère): you reach the Brévent by gondola from Chamonix itself up to Planpraz (2,000 m), the Flégère from Les Praz, Balme on the Charamillon gondola from Le Tour village or from Vallorcine, and Grands Montets from Argentière.

How does booking work?

1. Choose alpine skiing, ski touring, cross-country or snowboarding, the range and the package (full set, skis or board only, boots only).
2. Pick your collection and return dates: the total appears straight away.
3. Enter each skier's height, weight, ability and shoe size and pay online.
4. Get the email with the pick-up point and collect your fitted gear without queuing. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before and the CaranvaSports Guarantee.

Chamonix at a glance

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, in Haute-Savoie at the foot of Mont Blanc, hosted the first ever Winter Olympic Games in 1924, from 25 January to 5 February. It is not a single resort but a valley with several ski areas. The Chamonix Le Pass lift pass covers the Chamonix ones: Brévent-Flégère, Grands Montets (summit excluded) and Balme (Le Tour-Vallorcine), plus the beginner areas of La Vormaine, Les Chosalets, Le Savoy, Plateau 2000 (Planpraz), Plateau de Lognan, Les Planards and La Poya.

According to the lift operator, Chamonix Le Pass adds up to 110 km of runs between 1,000 and 2,765 m: 15 green, 30 blue, 27 red and 14 black, served by 2 cable cars, 6 gondolas, 14 chairlifts and 21 drag lifts. From the Brévent (2,525 m) you ski facing Mont Blanc. Les Houches, at the entrance to the valley, is a separate ski area (Les Houches-Saint-Gervais), where the World Cup Kandahar race is held on 30 January 2027.

The Aiguille du Midi cable car climbs to 3,842 m, the start of the Vallée Blanche: an off-piste route of about 20 km and 2,700 m of descent that crosses glaciers such as the Mer de Glace and that, if you are inexperienced, can only be done with a guide. It is not a marked run.

Geneva airport is 88 km away: there are direct buses and a train (Léman Express to Saint-Gervais-Le Fayet, then the Mont-Blanc Express). As of 6 October 2026 the operator has not yet published the 2026/27 season dates or lift pass prices; we do not sell lift passes.
