Behind the scenes at Eskiador Val Thorens: 50 years of passion at the summit
The resort
It was in this context that the first ski shops emerged, closest to skiers’ needs. Simple, human businesses where advice mattered as much as equipment.
Eskiador is part of this continuity.
A family adventure above all
Since its beginnings, Eskiador has not been a simple rental shop. It is a story of transmission, passion and field experience. Here, we don’t just talk about skis. We talk about sensations, snow conditions, levels and desires. Every customer is different. Every piece of equipment is adjusted accordingly. This know-how rests on a simple conviction: a good stay begins with perfectly suited equipment.
The heart of the craft: precision, advice and high standards
Behind the scenes at Eskiador, everything comes down to the details:
- precise binding adjustment
- choosing boots suited to the foot
- preparing equipment according to conditions
- listening to needs (beginner, experienced, freeride, family…)
This invisible work makes all the difference on the slopes. And it is what turns a simple rental into a real experience.
50 years of evolution… without losing the essentials
Since the resort opened in 1971 with only a few facilities, Val Thorens has become a global reference. Equipment has evolved. So have practices. But at Eskiador, one thing has never changed: the sense of service. Always taking the time. Always advising. Always adapting.
A committed team, close to its customers
What really makes the difference is the people. An approachable, passionate team rooted in the resort. Professionals who know the area, the snow and above all… the skiers. Here, we take the time to talk. Because behind every rental, there is a stay to make a success.
