We've been coming to Les Contamines since the summer of 2001, and ski-ing here every year since the spring of 2002. In all that time, we've always hired our skis & boots from Eric & Thierry Ronchail, who run & own the two Intersport shops in the village. They speak fluent English, as do many of their staff, like Giles who works at the central location.
The map shows their locations, one in the centre of the village, the other closer to the lifts. It doesn't matter which one you hire from as they work together, as you'd expect. So you can walk down to the shop in the centre of the village (from La Frasse), get fitted out and take your skis with you and, if you need to have any adjustments made during the week, you can always pop into the shop near the Lay lifts and Thierry or one of his merry men will help you out.
Eric & Thierry have kindly agreed to offer Chalet Kiana customers a discount on their competitive rates, as follows:
Jan/Mar/Apr: -20%
Feb: -10%
That means for top level ("Black") ski & boot hire for 6 days in Jan/Mar/Apr, you'll be paying about £100. And if the skis or boots don't suit you, or you want to try another type of ski, you simply take them back and ask for something else. (Discounted rates that you may see elsewhere rarely offer this level of flexibility; you hire for a fixed period and that's it!) If you only ski for 4 days, with our arrangement, you take them back and only pay for 4 days.
Give them a call:

Also, on the subject of submitting a comment... assuming you would like some serious ones from your 'proper' customers. It isn't obvious, but when one types in one's commment and then presses 'post comment' nothing happens to suggest that the comment won't get to you, unless you choose your appropriate 'comment as' category. Know what I mean?
ReplyDeleteThat's probably because I am moderating the comments, which I have to do, given some of the inclinations of our followers - well, we only have one follower at the moment...
