Zermatt renting of ski equipment and clothing

They also want clarification on whether the rental prices include ski poles and goggles with skis and helmets. The traveler is preparing for their winter sports trip and needs this information to plan accordingly.

Hi does Bayard/Intersport rent out ski jacket and pants? How much does the rental cost as I don’t see them on their website
Does the rental of 1) skis include ski poles and 2) ski helmet include goggles in the advertised rental price?
E.g. in Bayard’s website: does the chf27/day rental of skis include the ski poles and chf6.75/day rental of helmet include goggles or must I rent the ski poles and googles separately?

Hi cc123,
Generally sport shops don’t rent our ski jackets and trousers but there may be shops that do. Ski gears such as skis, snowboards, poles, helmets and goggles. are usually rented out at individual prices, individually unless otherwise specified. Some shops provide packaged deals or special offers so it’s worth looking and asking around. There are numerous winter sports shops in Zermatt.

Hi Anna
When I rent the ski boots, does Bayard/Intersport provide a locker for me to keep my shoes that I have been wearing?
If not, where do I keep my shoes?
Hi cc123,
I’m not sure to be honest. You could contact the Intersport store of your preference by e-mail to find out. You’ll find contact details by clicking any of the stores at https://www.intersportrent.com/skirent-zermatt~3949526.
Will you be staying in Zermatt? If so, you may be able to store your shoes in your apartment or hotel. Otherwise use the lockers at the Zermatt rail station. You can find details through the 2nd link under “Information on other websites” at http://www.myswissalps.com/train/practical/luggage.
I have always used Julen Sport (The Julen family is one of the longest existing families in Zermatt) and always get friendly service.
As you can see from the link I am giving, they rent clothing as well as ski hardware:
Hi cc123,
You can leave your shoes at the shop and pick them up later when you return the boots. There’s no extra charges. But you can also hire a locker at Bayard (if you want to store equipment) but this will cost additional charges.

Anna
