The shop

Push the door open, rue de Médran

We rent, we sell, we repair and we keep your skis warm overnight. Come in, we will show you around.

The shop

380 m² of skis, and someone to guide you

The largest rental fleet in Verbier means one thing above all: choice. Several ski widths, every ability, junior equipment. And the time to let you try another pair if the first one does not suit you.

Our story

Opened by a guide, run by skiers

Pierrot Michaud is a mountain guide and ski instructor. In 1989 he opened La Boit’askis on rue de Médran with a simple idea: a shop run by people who ski the mountain they talk about. He is still here, with his team.

Verbier has changed a great deal since then. The way we work, much less. We kit you out according to your ability, your plans and the snow of the day, not according to what is left on the shelf. It takes longer. That is why some people have been coming back for thirty winters.

Behind the scenes

Your skis spend the night with us

Drop them off on your way back from the slopes. Overnight, our ski techs sharpen them, wax them and flatten the bases, your boots dry out. The next morning, everything is waiting for you, ready to go.

  • Ceramic edge sharpening and stone finish
  • Hot waxing and base flattening
  • Base moulding, base filling and binding settings by a trained technician
  • Every rental pair serviced after every outing

The brands we work with

Atomic Head Salomon K2 Scott Black Crows Nidecker

We do not just sell them: we repair them, we set them up, and we ski them before you do. This winter’s new models are out on test at the shop.

The team

A family, not a counter

The full La Boit'askis team, together in the shop on rue de Médran.

We are a small team and we have known each other a long time. That is why we take the time: fitting a child’s boot, explaining the difference between two skis, swapping your equipment when the snow turns.

Many of our customers have been coming back every winter for years. We end up knowing their boot size, their ability and their holiday plans before they have walked through the door.

  • Fluent French and English, at the counter and in the workshop
  • As long as it takes on boot fitting, especially for children
  • A problem with your skis or boots mid-week? We will sort it out.
  • Advice based on your ability and your plans, never on stock to shift
