Freeride Val d’isere — Local services in Albertville

We booked online, and when we got to the rental there was a HUGE line, it took about 1.5-2 hours. And by the time we got to the front they were out of any good options for skis even though we had paid for the higher (more expensive/advanced package).

Avoid this shop at all costs!!!!! Also other shops are cheaper with...

Great customer service with a smile, listening to my requests for a certain set up. The only issue was one of the base bindings clip wasn't flush & I could feel this through my boot & made my foot numb, I was advised that they would've changed it, if I had gone back, however, I only used 1 of the 2 days I booked, which was the second day, so I wasn't aware, I do feel that this should've been noticed & not rented out in the first place, however, I do feel confident by the service received at collection that if I could've taken this back between days, the issue would've been...
