Behind the Scenes at Eskiador Val Thorens:
50 Years of Passion at the Summit
The station
It was in this context that the first ski shops emerged, designed to meet skiers’ needs as closely as possible. These were simple, personable establishments where advice mattered just as much as the equipment.
Eskiador carries on this tradition.
A family adventure, first and foremost
Since its inception, Eskiador has been more than just a rental shop. It’s a story of passing on knowledge, passion, and a deep connection to the mountains.
Here, we don’t just talk about skis. We talk about sensations, snow conditions, skill levels, and what you’re looking for.
Every customer is different. Every piece of equipment is tailored accordingly.
This expertise is based on a simple belief: a great trip starts with the right gear.
The Core of Our Business: Precision, Advice, and High Standards
Behind the scenes at Eskiador, it’s all about the details:
- precise binding adjustments
- selecting boots that fit your feet
- preparing equipment for the conditions
- understanding your needs (beginner, advanced, freeride, family…)
This behind-the-scenes work makes all the difference on the slopes.
And that’s what turns a simple rental into a true experience.
50 Years of Evolution… Without Losing Sight of What Matters Most
Since the resort opened in 1971 with just a few facilities, Val Thorens has become a global leader.
Equipment has evolved. So have the sports themselves. But at Eskiador, one thing has never changed: our commitment to service.
Always taking the time. Always offering advice. Always adapting.
A dedicated team that is close to its clients
What really makes the difference are the people.
An approachable, passionate team that’s deeply rooted in the resort. Professionals who know the area, the snow, and above all… the skiers.
Here, we take the time to connect. Because behind every rental, there’s a vacation to make a success of.
