| Skis + boots + poles (adult) | 20–35 € | 90–150 € |
| Snowboard + boots | 22–38 € | 100–160 € |

The Pozza di Fassa ski area
When to ski in Pozza di Fassa
In Pozza di Fassa, snow cover depends on the season and snowmaking: before you go, check the ski area’s bulletin, not last year’s photos.
The week between Christmas and Epiphany is when rental shops run out of the most requested sizes, especially men’s boots in sizes 42 to 44 and all children’s gear. If you’re skiing then, book equipment when you book accommodation. In January, outside weekends, you’ll find everything with no queue and often at a lower rate.
What equipment to get
Ask the rental shop for a ski suited to your actual level, not the one you wish you had: a ski that’s too stiff will just tire you out. For children, the full package with helmet costs less than buying the pieces separately.
The boot matters more than the ski. The wrong boot ruins the week; a mediocre ski just slows you down. Try it on with the socks you’ll actually wear, walk around the shop for a few minutes and check your heel stays put without your toes touching the front. If it hurts halfway through the week, go back to the rental shop: swapping it is almost always free.
A helmet usually isn’t included and costs €3–5 a day. It’s compulsory for under-18s on Italian slopes, so factor it in from the start.
Where to rent skis in Pozza di Fassa
Some rental shops operating in Pozza di Fassa and within a few kilometres. Many are village shops with ski storage at the foot of the lifts: check opening hours and availability before you turn up, especially at the start and end of the season.
Daily or season-long rental for children
If your child skis more than two weeks in a season, a season-long rental costs less. It typically runs €150–300 for an adult and less for children, with size swaps included through the winter. For a foot that grows two sizes between December and March, it’s the only option that makes sense: buy skis for an eight-year-old and you’ll be buying them again at nine.
Skis sitting idle for eight months a year
If you own a decent set, it sits in storage all summer. Listed for rent, it earns €250–600 a season, with verified identity and insurance included on every booking.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent skis and boots in Pozza di Fassa?
A full adult set typically costs €20–35 a day in Pozza di Fassa, and €90–150 for a week. Top-end lines and freeride gear sit above this range.
Is the helmet included in the rental?
Almost never: it’s paid separately, €3–5 a day. It’s compulsory for under-18s on Italian slopes, so ask about it when you book.

Can I change skis during the week?
At most rental shops, yes. If the snow changes or you realise the ski isn’t right for you, you can switch to another model, paying at most the difference in category.
Do I need ID to rent skis?
Yes, almost all rental shops ask for ID and details for the binding-release form, which is set according to weight, height and ability level.
Is it better to rent or buy skis?
