Where can I hire skis/snowboards/avalanche transceivers/other equipment?

There are many ski rental shops in Chamonix, many of which offer an online booking service. As well as saving you time once you arrive in Chamonix, online booking is often rewarded with a nice discount on the cost of your kit! Even if you have booked your gear online, you can still try it on in the shop and change it for another size/model if it does not feel right. Most ski & snowboard hire shops in Chamonix will also have transceivers and avalanche safety kit to rent - make sure you know how to use it and that you test it before you take it into the mountains!
