Equipment ok, correct price, however, arrived on Sunday evening, 30 minutes before closing, impossible to get the skis, had to come back the next day, this is not the first time this has happened at this Ski Republic Plagne Centre, if you do not want online reservations, change your operating mode.

Pleasant welcome, but the ski equipment was not at all up to our expectations or our level. Despite a displayed price of around €300 (with a significant promotion), the skis were worn out and the boots clearly aging, far from current standards. Compared to friends who rented from the neighboring agency Intersport, the quality difference is clearly in their favor.

The quality of the equipment was deplorable: snowboard from another time, skis whose protective plastic frays over the week and a binding that even broke, making the equipment dangerous. Staff was top-notch.

I rented two junior packs for 4 days, but my son did not want to ski so I returned the pack after one day and in exchange the shop refused to lend me a pair of women's boots and women's skis for just one day to avoid losing my money. Not customer-friendly at all.

Friendly staff, but the ranges of skis and shoes do not necessarily match the paid offer on the internet (often inferior) and the response given to the customer is that the website contains errors ... Aging equipment and not very well maintained, probably due to turnover, which required a return for exchange on the second day (exchange went well in itself). Support during fittings is also questionable as I have experienced better in other stores because it was too passive, perhaps linked to the approach of the end of the season I don't know .. To summarize, quite disappointed with the service overall .. we will therefore go to the competition next year ..

Response from Ski Republic
Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

We are sincerely sorry to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations.

Regarding the equipment, we strive to provide gear corresponding to the reserved ranges, sometimes with alternatives or upgrades depending on availability. It is true that some ranges may present already used equipment, which is inherent to rentals, but it is regularly checked and maintained.

We also take into account your comment about the in-store support. Listening and advising are integral parts of our service, and we regret if this was not perceived that way during your visit.

We note, however, that the equipment exchange was able to be carried out quickly, which remains essential to ensure the continuity of your stay.

Your feedback is important for us to improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to offer you a better experience in the future.

Best regards.

I was very disappointed with my experience this time! I booked to hire from Val d'isere and when I arrived to collect my skis the shop was closed. The other branches in the village were also closed! It wasted 2 hours of our first day trying to locate ski hire even though I had already paid with ski republic!

We got four ski packs. My daughter had one ski that was ok and one that un-adjusted and couldn't be clipped into the boot at all. She had to walk back and get it sorted out. My friend and one good ski and one that kept on falling off. Not great.

Response from Ski Republic
Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

We are sorry to read about the issues you experienced with the equipment, and we understand how inconvenient this must have been during your stay.

Regarding your daughter’s skis, we confirm that she returned to the shop and that the equipment was readjusted. Our team also advised to come back immediately if the issue occurred again so that we could provide a replacement. Unfortunately, we were not informed of any further problem during the week.

Concerning your friend’s skis, we were only made aware of the issue at the end of the rental period, which unfortunately did not allow us to intervene earlier and offer a solution during your stay.

Please note that all our equipment is regularly checked and maintained, but technical issues can occasionally occur. When they do, our teams are always available to adjust or replace the equipment as quickly as possible.

We regret the inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding.

Kind regards.

We arrived at 7pm to collect our ski gear and were told to come back the next day as ski rental closed at 7pm. We said the website said 7.30pm close, but they said that’s just the sales side of the shop, not rentals. It would be useful for the confirmation email or website to say this, as it would have meant we’d miss the skiing the next morning. Luckily he agreed to serve us in the end that day. More generally, my boots didn’t quite fit right and I found the staff to be rude and dismissive when I flagged this. One of the carrying handles on my boots was also broken, and my helmet was uncomfortable.

If I get a refund due to the store not opening, I might give a favorable review, for now, a catastrophic experience. The store does not open on time, no notice, no response to the phone... how to start a vacation badly, not having skis at the beginning of your stay!

Good evening, I am not satisfied at all. Indeed, the amount was collected by Ski Republic, however when I presented myself at the store I was very poorly received by the seller who reproached me for having rented the day before and that consequently he had no skis to provide me. He also indicated that he did not refund anything and that I had to manage on the website. While I can understand that a late rental cannot be fulfilled, the seller's attitude was very aggressive and in no way helpful. Following this, I sent a refund request on the Ski Republic website, I hope it will go smoothly.

Response from Ski Republic
Hello,

We are sorry for the experience you describe and understand your frustration with this situation.

We also regret that the welcome and explanations provided in the store did not meet your expectations. This is not the experience we wish to offer our customers.

Following your request, we confirm that the refund will be taken into account and processed as soon as possible by our customer service.

I booked the sensation pack. Got skis that were shaking at any speed faster than a pizza. Asked for replacement, shown a model that they had and I liked, got something that was way too tall for me, being told that 'those are for speed'. They were for speed, as they only moved straight downhill, anything else meant I had to walk. I feel like the service is good only if you are a pro otherwise you will be taken for a fool and receive some junk 15 year old stock.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.

We regret that the equipment did not suit you and that this was not fully resolved during your visit. Please note that all our skis are regularly maintained and checked to meet our quality standards.

Skis were good. They looked a little bit old but had good wax and edges. Service was fast. The guy in the store was unprofessional and disrespectful. Almost hostile. Don't recommend the store if you're not native French speaker or non-white. (Of you're really interested to know: Our home resort is Whistler and we're expert skiers. But the skiing is fundamentally different in Europe vs North America. We're powder skiers and have wide skis here. I also make small adjustments in our bindings depending on the situation. I tried to discuss These options with your guy (Christian). He was not having any of it and essentially refused to engage any conversation or discuss any other options. I don't think anyone actually reads this but I'm writing it anyway because you asked!)
Translated reviews
Response from Ski Republic
Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to read that you were satisfied with the equipment and its preparation.

We are however surprised by some of your comments regarding your experience in-store. Discussions around equipment selection, binding settings (DIN) and sizing are strictly guided by safety standards that our team must follow, and cannot always be adjusted based on personal preferences.

We also want to be very clear: we do not tolerate any form of discrimination within our teams. Based on the elements reviewed, this situation appears to stem from a technical disagreement rather than anything else.

That said, we regret that the interaction did not meet your expectations and that the exchange felt uncomfortable. This is not the level of service we aim to provide.

Your feedback has been shared internally to ensure we continue delivering a professional and respectful experience to all our customers.
