Tignes Spirit

Tignes Spirit is the only independent, British-owned ski and snowboard shop in the Espace Killy. Based in Tignes, we stock independent brands of hardware and apparel, including Salomon, Head, Elan, Movement, Majesty, Dalbello, Nike, Burton, Endeavor, Signal, Airblaster, Ashbury, Stance, Butta, Dragon Alliance and many others. Our ski and snowboard rental service is the best in Tignes, offering a free delivery and collection service which saves you the time and hassle you would usually experience trekking to the rental shop. The quality of products and the low prices we offer, by far outshine all other rental shops, whilst our English and French speaking technicians have been hand-picked for their extensive technical knowledge and amazing customer service skills. Our entire crew live for the snow and were the best UK shop team at the British Championships in 2013 and 2014, winning the most medals across the board! The latest in touring skis, split-boards, snow shoes and cross-country equipment are all available for rent and purchase at Tignes Spirit. We offer daily rates so that you can rent different equipment for each day of your holiday... if you want to! We have the latest in children's ski and snowboard equipment, stocking skis as small as 70cm, along with 70cm snowboards used for the Burton Riglet programme. (All children receive a free helmet as part of their package.) Tignes Spirit is the only rental service to offer outerwear and protective clothing hire to chalets and apartments all over the Espace Killy area. Based in le lavachet, our shop doubled in size in early 2014, so we are now able to give a quality service to even more people at any given time! Our opening hours are 7am until very late, ensuring that all clients are catered for. You need not worry if you are delayed way beyond the closing time of most rental shops and need to be kitted out before the panic of ski school start times the next day. We will ensure that you and your entire party are kitted out and can enjoy maximum slope time. Our workshop is also based in Tignes le lavachet, just down the steps from our main shop. As well as servicing our large rental fleet, we provide repairs and servicing to anyone who wishes to give their plank(s) some tender loving care! Skis and snowboards previously thought to be damaged beyond repair, have been brought back to life by our well-trained and highly experienced technicians for amazingly competitive prices. Tignes Spirit is the go-to shop for all visitors to Tignes. With our great links and relationships with other businesses throughout the Espace Killy, we can organise holiday accommodation and transfers in all areas of Tignes and Val d'Isere, as well as an easy and affordable, quality equipment rental service.

2nd year hiring from Tignes Spirit in Lavachet. We are a family of four with two young kids (6 and 3) and we cannot recommend this shop enough. On entering the staff were super friendly and engaging and the kids had a super time getting kitted out by the obviously experienced and knowledgeable staff. All gear was high quality and in great condition and we received follow up emails and texts asking us if everything was okay with rentals and if we needed any assistance with anything. On returning our gear the kids hounded us for a super cool Tignes Spirit hoodie - we relented! We will definitely use Tignes Spirit again next year and highly recommend to anyone seeking a hassle-free and positive ski hire experience.

Independant Shop With A Great Service !!! Skis Touring Telemark Nordic skiing snowshoes Via Ferrata Climbing

Reviewed By Sovieljm - London, United Kingdom

Ideally situated opposite the departure of the Aravet ski lift, next door to the ski sales office and the departure and arrival of the free ´village ´ shuttle, Sébastien the shop owner and his friendly team: Aude and Sophie have been amazingly welcoming and made every effort to make our ski rental experience memorable: professional advise, keeping skiing gear overnight, etc... I strongly recommend them.

My partner had a great two hour private lesson with Craig! It gave him the confidence to hit the snow park again and look at future freestyle courses!
