SKI HIRE & SKI SCHOOLS IN VAL CLARET

Hi,
As a group (5 adults, 2 children), we'll be travelling to Tignes Val Claret for our fist ever family ski holiday….yee-haa, cant wait :D
Just wondered if anyone could recommend/help us in regards to finding a ski hire shop with a locker room close to the lifts and an ideal ski school that caters for all.
We have 3 novice skiers (2 kids) & 4 skiers who would need a one day refresher.

Any pointers/help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers.

Don't these people realise that they could have their identity stolen now?

I've just had "F*** off Taff, now no one is going to answer me are they" shouted across the desk

Can someone out there please help Mattblack321, whoever he may be

I have used Skiset in Tignes for skis and they we're fine.
And have had lessons with TDC (The Development Centre) and there are great. I would advise using a British ski school, Not a school with French teachers who speak English. While they may be fluent, communication can still be very difficult. And definitely not ESF.

We've used Ski Republic in the past and they've been cheap and efficient with a good standard of equipment. They're next door to the bakery in the Borsat end of VC.
This year we tried Tignes Spirit, paid a bit more and we did get really good kit. The main reason we chose them was because they offer to fit at your apartment. This I reckon is only available on non-changeover days though. We ended up being shuttled to their shop in Le Lac, ("we're too busy today to come out, you could wait till tomorrow but it'll be later in the day" (Not good) then standing around on the last day in a blizzard trying to return kit to a chap in a minibus. Not the convenience we paid extra for! Hey ho. Next time we'll go back to Ski Republic.

We've used Ski Set Deep Snow in Val Claret. Excellent service and very friendly. Not sure if they have lockers though.
