Book your skis

Step Into Comfortable Ski Boots

Most people walk into a rental shop and focus entirely on the skis, but any professional will tell you that your boots are actually the most critical part of your equipment. They are the only point of contact between your body and your skis. If the fit is off, your performance suffers, and more importantly, you’ll be in pain. A boot that’s too loose means you’ll lose control when turning; a boot that’s too tight can cut off circulation, leading to freezing cold feet.

At Sport 2000, we don’t just hand you a pair and hope for the best. We provide a specialised boot fitting service to help you navigate the nuances of "flex" and "last" (the width of the boot). We stock comfortable ski boots from major brands like Salomon, Rossignol, and Atomic, which are maintained to the highest standards. When you rent from us, we make sure the boot matches your skill level: stiff enough for an advanced skier to transfer power, or soft enough for a beginner to stay comfortable while learning. Skiing is a lot more fun when you aren’t thinking about your feet.

Safety First With a Helmet and Safety Package

Safety on the slopes isn’t something we take lightly. While some might still view a helmet as an extra, Sport 2000 makes them a standard part of the rental process for everyone. Modern helmets are so lightweight and well-ventilated now that there’s really no reason not to wear one. They provide vital protection against head injuries if you catch an edge or have a collision on hard-packed snow.

If you are the type of skier who prefers the "free-ride" experience—heading into deep powder and unmarked areas—you need gear that goes beyond the basics. This is where our service for renting a professional avalanche kit comes in. A standard setup won't help you in the backcountry. You need an avalanche transceiver, a shovel, and a probe. We ensure that our safety packs are easy to use and regularly tested. If you’re heading off-piste, having this equipment isn’t just a good idea; it’s a necessity for your safety and the safety of your group.

Choose Your Snowboard Hire or Touring Skis For the Slopes

Everyone has their own way of enjoying the mountain, and your gear should reflect that. If you’re looking to rent a snowboard, we don't just give you a board based on your height. Our staff will help you determine your stance, whether you’re "Goofy" (right foot forward) or "Regular" (left foot forward). We’ll also adjust your binding angles based on whether you want to ride park or just cruise the slopes of the resort.

To ensure you get the right performance level, we categorise our gear by colour. Our Blue range is perfect for beginners who need a forgiving, easy-to-turn board. The Red category is the "all-rounder" choice, ideal for intermediate riders who want to explore the whole mountain. For experienced riders, we offer Black snowboards. These are our premium category boards, designed with stiffer flex and advanced materials to provide superior edge grip and stability at high speeds. If you are an advanced rider, choosing a board from our "Black" range ensures you have the precision you need for challenging terrain.

We also cater to those looking to get away from the crowds with touring skis. Ski touring is a completely different way to experience the winter, allowing you to trek uphill using skins before finding an untouched descent. Or, if you prefer a steady pace through the trees, we have a full range of cross-country gear. Our equipment is available across all French ski resorts, so regardless of your dates or where you choose to stay, you’ll have access to the right tools for your specific style of riding.

Best Ski Deals and Special Offers for Your Winter Holiday

Let's be realistic: a ski holiday can get expensive, so it pays to be smart about how you book. At Sport 2000, we try to make things more affordable without sacrificing the quality of the gear. One of our most consistent deals is the "7th day free" offer. If you’re renting for a week, we take the cost of the final day off your bill. It’s a simple way to get more time on the mountain for the best price.

The biggest way to save money, though, is to book online before you even leave home. Early bookings allow you to take advantage of discounts that aren't available for walk-ins. It also means your alpine ski or snowboard setup is reserved and ready to go the moment you walk into the shop. You avoid the paperwork, you get the best price, and you get out onto the snow much faster.

Whether you're hitting the slopes for downhill skiing, snowboarding, or any other winter sport, choosing the right gear is essential for both your performance and your enjoyment. To get the perfect fit, you need to consider your skill level, weight, height, and the type of terrain you plan to tackle.

While modern manufacturers are increasingly offering versatile, "multi-purpose" gear, our experts are here to help you find a precise match for your specific needs. Sport 2000 guarantees the best prices on the market’s top brands. Don't wait any longer: get high-quality equipment tailored to your needs today!

Ski rental: What are the key criteria for choosing your skis?

Selecting the right skis comes down to a few essential factors:

• Skill level: beginner, intermediate, advanced.
• Use: downhill skis, “all mountain” skis, free-ride skis, etc.
• Size: Ideally, your skis should reach somewhere between your chin and your forehead. If you are a beginner, choose shorter skis (roughly 10 to 15 cm less than your total height) for better control.
• Weight: Lighter skiers generally prefer shorter, more flexible skis, while heavier skiers benefit from the stability of longer skis.
• Poles are included with your rental, but don’t forget to add boots and a helmet too.
