INTERSPORT Rent tip
Our RENTertainers recommend
Les Saisies is on its way to becoming a sustainable ski resort. For instance, there are electric shuttle buses in the village and the power consumption of the artificial snow-making systems is being optimised. Plus, the snowcats are running on biodiesel, and the mountain huts serve many products by regional farmers.
You can support their effort as well by renting the needed equipment. This way one pair of skis or one snowboard can bring maximum fun to a lot of people without harming the environment any further by buying new gear. Our experts on site will make sure you get the right equipment for your stay.
