Children under the age of 14 must wear helmets
whilst on the piste in all Italian ski resorts.
Equipment can be booked on arrival. We
have negotiated 10% discount for Flexible Breaks customers at Clotes Ski
Hire shop.
The hire shop offers optional insurance to cover your hired equipment in
case of damage or breakage. It is worth taking out, especially if the
snow conditions are not perfect.
Useful
tips
Remember the colour and hire shop number on your skis or
snowboard, especially when you leave them outside a mountain restaurant
whilst eating your lunch. The other skis around yours may look the same, but
the bindings will be set for someone else and thus not suitable for you.
Boots

Ski boots should fit you snugly, so your heel is not loose,
but should not be so tight that they hurt! The hire shop staff will show you how to fasten
the clips. Snowboard boots are usually soft, and again
should fit snugly.
Skis
Let the hire shop staff know how many times you have skied before and what
length skis you prefer (if you know). They will need to know your
weight, so that they can set the bindings correctly (a safety setting that
releases the skis from your ski boots should you fall over).
All
skis are now carving skis, which are slightly shorter than the old style
straight skis, and are much easier to turn on. With the skis comes a
new style of skiing, so it's good to get a private lesson to learn how to
keep up with your skis. We offer a selection of skis for all
abilities, from standard to racing, so make sure you ask which will be best
for you.
Don’t forget the ski poles, which should be about as high as
your arms extended at right angles (from the elbow) in front of your body.
Snowboards

Let the hire shop staff know how many times you
have boarded before, and if you are regular or goofy (if known). There are
snowboards for soft boots and hard boots (normally just for experienced
boarders), and the bindings may be in the form of straps or step-ins.
Ski deposit
If you do not wish to carry your skis or
board back to your accommodation or walk through the village in your ski
boots, you may pay to leave your skis and boots in a heated deposit at the Clotes
Ski Centre.
Ski and snowboard
service
The Clotes ski centre offers ski and
snowboard waxing or edging and a full service. They can also customise
your own ski boots to give you the perfect fit.
Please note: We
do not guarantee that the prices charged by our recommended suppliers will
be the cheapest available.
