Is it worthwhile to buy your own skis, or wouldn’t it be smarter to rent or hire them? Is it even worth buying ski equipment if you only go on a ski holiday for a few weeks a year? Every year new models come onto the market, and what’s modern today may already be outdated tomorrow. The range of good skis keeps expanding – there’s an ideal ski for every snow condition. But who wants to have so many skis sitting in their basement? Transport also shouldn’t be overlooked. Cars often don’t have enough space, roof boxes cost money and increase fuel consumption. Anyone traveling by train knows how inconvenient bulky luggage can be. And on airplanes, there’s always an extra charge for oversized baggage anyway. We’ve put together a few questions and answers here that many winter holidaymakers have probably already asked themselves.

Renting skis isn’t necessarily more expensive than buying your own equipment. It depends partly on what type of skier you are and what demands you place on the gear. In addition, in larger ski resorts there are various providers competing with each other. Comparing prices is always worthwhile.

What are the advantages of renting skis? You always get the latest equipment, freshly serviced. That means the skis are waxed and the edges are sharply tuned. If you like, you can even swap your gear spontaneously – for example, if it has just snowed and you want to try a freeride ski. You don’t have to transport or maintain your skis yourself. If you prefer, you can even store them directly in the Sölden ski area in one of our ski depots instead of taking them back to your accommodation.

A beginner or intermediate skier who goes on a ski holiday for a maximum of 2 weeks per year will definitely save money with rental skis and still get high-quality equipment. This is especially true when you factor in the cost of annual servicing. Anyone who wants to adapt their equipment to current conditions will also benefit.

Of course, at Clever & Sporty in Sölden we also have the right ski boots and snowboard boots in stock. Perfectly matched to your skis, you can get the boots in all sizes from 25 to 50. Naturally, the boots are cleaned, dried, and disinfected after every rental.

A ski holiday isn’t exactly cheap, especially for families. That’s why with us, one child up to 10 years old gets skis for free when an adult rents equipment from Clever&Sporty. Otherwise, children up to 10 years receive a 75% discount, and youths up to 14 years receive a 50% discount.

Who wants to carry their skis across the village or take them on a crowded ski bus? Maybe you’d also like to stop by for some après-ski after skiing without having to keep an eye on your equipment. Save yourself the hassle and simply leave your gear in one of our 4 depots in Sölden! If you rent your skis from us, you even get special rates.

Ski enthusiasts who spend more than 2 weeks a year skiing and also enjoy spontaneous day trips to various ski resorts don’t want to waste time choosing equipment.

At home, you can of course take your time choosing skis in a shop. However, sports shops in a ski resort have a much larger selection and keep several copies of each model in stock. In addition, pickup and return at home also take time, and you have to transport the equipment yourself on your holiday.

At Clever&Sporty you can rent all kinds of different ski models, whether slalom skis, race carvers, or wide freeride skis for deep powder. If you like, you can even rent a different ski every day. We have forgiving skis for beginners, sporty ones for ambitious skiers, and high-end equipment for the tech enthusiasts.

We offer the full range of snowboards for rent – beginners will be just as happy as halfpipe pros. We also have suitable equipment available for children and teenagers.

Of course, we also offer additional equipment for rent. Suitable helmets and ski poles are available at a low price from Clever&Sporty.

You can either line up at the ticket office at the valley station for your ski pass, or you can book it directly online together with your equipment from us.

Yes, of course. We have skis and snowboards as well as matching boots and helmets available in all sizes.

Are you a large family or a group of at least 5 people? Then simply send us a group request and we will send you an individual offer within 24 hours.

One of our 4 ski depots is always close to you. You’ll find our Clever&Sporty sports shop right at the central slope exit in Sölden. The other depots are located at Sport Brugger at the Zentrum Shuttle, the Giggijochbahn, and the Gaislachkoglbahn.

If you like, you can change your equipment as often as you want. For skis and snowboards, we charge a fee of 10 euros per exchange.

You’ll receive your skis or snowboard from us with freshly sharpened edges and a perfectly waxed base. If you’d like to have them serviced during the rental period, you can do so for just 15 euros and your equipment will ride like new again.

We offer you high-end ski servicing with Wintersteiger service robots.

Our VIP Service picks you up at your accommodation on the first day and brings you to our Clever&Sporty sports shop in Sölden. There you’ll receive your equipment, which we will of course also deliver to your accommodation. You can exchange your gear at any time, and a daily edge service is naturally included.

Of course, that’s possible. In fact, we specialize in it and offer you a 35% discount on the regular on-site rental price through our online ski rental. This means you can get a well-maintained ski for as little as around 60 euros per week.

You can book a protection package with us for just €2.50 per day. This way you’re covered in case your skis or snowboard get stolen or damaged.

In our shop right in the center of Sölden, you’ll find everything you need for the perfect look on the slopes, as well as stylish fashion for after skiing.
