Skirent Peter Ortisei Val Gardena — Local services in Salten-Schlern - Salto-Sciliar

Fantastic place. I rented a pair of 2025 Völkl Peregrine 76, a €1000 top of the line pair of skis, for €160 for 6 days, almost half the price of any other ski shop in the town. Contrary to the other review, the fact I ordered the "exclusive" option did make a difference as I was shown only their best skis, and they had all the latest expert carving models from Head, Nordica, Völkl etc. The pair I picked were in excellent condition, recently waxed and sharpened. Despite this they sharpened them for me again mid week. They will let you swap over to other skis or snowboard too if you want. Run by 3 generations of the same family, the oldest gentleman is very kind but speaks very little English so just find the grandsons and they will sort you out if you're picky and want a chat about the right pair. They have everything, from hardcore race carving through multiple all mountain pairs, through to various freeride options. They also have free, heated ski/boots storage that every other ski shop will charge for. I wouldn't look anywhere else if...

You should rent your equipment here, period. This is a small family owned business, and all the good things about such places are present here - you just need a bit of patience. The prices are well below average. The location is great - right in the center, walking distance from ski busses and gondolas. You also get to use a ski room with heated boots storage FOR FREE. We had ski storage in our hotel, but after a couple of days we switched to store the equipment at Peter's - it's that convenient. The owners also treat you like a human, not like a cache machine. I rented skis and shoes for 6 days, but I also wanted to rent a snowboard for one day. Peter, after figuring out that I will use the skis and the snowboard myself (and not renting for a friend), told me "well you can't ski when you are on the snowboard", and charged me for 5 ski rent days instead of 6. I find it very hard to believe that I would get such treatment in any ski rent shops nearby.

We hired from here because of the high Google ratings. Unfortunately our experience didn’t live up to these ratings. We ordered online and it didn’t really matter what we ordered because the guy at the counter just looked at the price we were quoted online and charged us that regardless of the type of skis we were given. Service was also really haphazard and the shop got quite crowded at times. When we returned our skis there was a big queue of people in the shop and the guy took my skis and gave them straight to someone else without even re-waxing them or checking they were okay. Overall the skis we were given were fine for our weeks skiing and the cost reasonable, just be prepared for an interesting...
