Client Testimonials

Quality gear and service

I've been using these guys for the last 3 years i've been to Tignes. I'm very fussy about my kit, and Tignes spirit always has the latest ski's and boards all in fantastic condition. Incredibly helpful, reliable and surprisingly good value considering how new the kit is.

Quality kit, personal touch

I have been going to Tignes for 25 years and in the past 3 seasons my wife and I have taken our young son (4 and a half at first visit) to introduce him to the joys of the mountains.

Each time we have kitted out equipment from Tignes Spirit. They were extremely patient and accommodating with my son, always ensuring he was comfortable and taking the time to show him how the equipment works.

Every year the manager, Kieran, remembers my son by name and makes a real fuss of him - joking with him about how much he's grown and what he'll be able to do on skis by the end of the upcoming week etc.

For my wife and I - who are fair weather but good skiers - the equipment has been consistently good and current and the staff are knowledgeable and efficient. From what I can see, prices are competitive.

It is the personal touch and good quality kit that keeps us coming back.

Best ski hire in Tignes

Just got back from a fantastic week in tignes. We had a big party and used these guys to kit us out. Nothing was too much hassle and they had top quality skis. Will definitely use tignes spirit again. Cheers!

Excellent Service, great equipment

I have used this shop several times in recent years whilst organising company ski weekends away, with a large group of fairly demanding colleagues to coordinate. Tignes Spirit has always been very helpful, and were more than happy to deliver and collect equipment from our apartments at the start and end of our stay. Being able to book everything online before we left England was also really useful. I would definitely use them again.

Excellent rental shop

Great rental shop with knowledgeable staff. We had mixed levels of skiers & boarders in our group & they provided great kit for all of us. They answered all our questions & made suitable recommendations. Would definitely recommend them & we look forward to using them again.

Amazing , friendly service from start to finish. Never know a hire shop to deliver and drop off your equipment before and even pick you up and drop you of if you need to change or adjust anything.

No need to go anywhere else in Tignes for all your ski and snowboarding needs

If you've read the other reviews then you should have already made your decision to use Tignes Spirit to rent your equipment, if not, read on.

Firstly, my rental requests were a bit more specific than some. I wanted to rent a splitboard with all the trimmings for 4 days whilst on an avalanche course.

Once I arrived I walked into the shop, gave them my name, got sat on a comfy sofa (no uncomfortable wooden benches here!) while they got everything together. I was lucky to get a brand new 14/15 Burton board that hadn't even been used yet. I know I wasn't an isolated case either with the quality of kit. My girlfriend also got some epic touring skis and even came back and changed them to powder skis when conditions changed.

The shop itself is a marvel. They have made the most of the small amount of space they have displaying what they have for sale while keeping enough space for people to clomp about testing if their ski boots fit.

The team that Kieran has put together at Tignes Spirit is right at the top of their game. Everyone I dealt with gave honest information about the equipment and if they didn't know the answer they went and found out from someone else (not every skier knows everything about snowboards). When I went back to the shop to return my equipment the guys there were genuinely interested in how the equipment worked for me unlike some other dis-interested rental places I've been to over the years.

In short Tignes Spirit was a joy to use from start to finish and I won't hesitate to recommend them to my friends.

Best ski hire service i have ever used.

Tignes Spirit were amazing. We arrived really late due to a delayed flight and they went out of their way to pick us up and make sure that we had our skis that evening even though it was midnight. On the second day my boots were really tight and when I called to ask for different boots, they brought 3 pairs to the chalet for me to try the next morning. Great service and lovely staff.

Service is everything

As always, Kieran and the team were fantastic.
They kitted us out with boots, skis, poles and boards and took the time to make sure everyone had gear they were happy and comfortable with.

And when one of the party had rubbing from their boots, it was no trouble to assess the issue and change the boots for something wider.

The service level and friendly team at Tignes Spirit is first class and I wouldnt go anywhere else anytime I visit Tignes - if it works perfectly, why change it right?

Thanks to the team - see you next time we are in Tignes

Excellent

Prompt and efficient service, phoned to see where we were in case we would have time to sneak in an afternoons skiing on arrival. Great kit all suitable for the particular user, they ask a lot of questions to get that right. Having kit delivered and collected is so nice. And most importantly with loads of ice around ....great edges ! Would definitely use them again if in Espace Killy
