Best Ski Rental in Serfaus: Ranked Shops

By Best:in Editorial Team · Updated September 2026

In September 2026 the best ski rental in Serfaus is Patscheider Sport Check In, inside the cable car valley station at Dorfbahnstraße 75, with depot storage and free returns until 10:00 the next day. INTERSPORT Kirschner at number 76 wins on family terms: under-10s free, 7 days for 6. The field is thin because two operators run most Serfaus outlets.

Best Ski Rental in Serfaus: Ranked Shops, ranked

1.

Patscheider Sport Check In

Check In sits inside the Serfaus cable car valley station at Dorfbahnstraße 75, so gear is fitted where you board. Patscheider stores and services skis in the rebuilt complex serving the Komperdell and Alpkopf lifts, returns are free until 10:00 the next morning, and equipment can be dropped at Take Off instead. The SPORT 2000 rent Serfaus page advertises up to 20% off online bookings, and optional insurance covers theft, loss and damage with no deductible.

Best for: Lift-side pickup with depot

INTERSPORT Kirschner Base Station

Kirschner's base-station shop at Dorfbahnstraße 76 publishes the clearest family terms in Serfaus: children up to 10 free when both parents rent, 50% off up to age 14, a 7-day hire charged as 6 days and a free helmet with each child ski set. Rented skis get daily servicing and can be exchanged free. Online reservation saves 10%, and the range covers all-mountain, race, slalom, touring and cross-country gear.

Best for: Families on a week rental

3.

Patscheider Sport Take Off

Take Off hands over prepared skis and snowboards at the Komperdell mid-station, one lift above the village. Reserved fun sports equipment is collected here, toboggans too, and anything hired can be returned down at Check In until 10:00 the following morning. It shares Patscheider's SPORT 2000 rent booking system and insurance option. The trade-off is distance: a boot problem before breakfast means riding up before it is fixed.

Best for: Skiers who hate carrying gear

INTERSPORT Kirschner Centre

The second Kirschner outlet trades in central Serfaus and mirrors the base-station discounts: kids up to 10 free with two renting parents, 50% for under-15s, 7-for-6 weeks, a free child helmet, daily ski servicing and 10% off online reservations. It is the most useful shop for hotels away from Dorfbahnstraße, and it keeps working in summer with e-bikes, bicycles, backpacks and GPS devices on multi-day rates.

Best for: Guests staying in the village centre

Sport Point by Hämmerle

Sport Point by Hämmerle appears in the official Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis shop directory and advertises ski rental in winter plus e-bike hire and servicing in summer. It sits outside both the INTERSPORT Rent and SPORT 2000 rent Serfaus listings, so chain discounts and cross-shop returns do not apply, and no day rate or family package is published. Treat it as the call to make when the two base-station operators show no availability.

Best for: Independent fallback in peak weeks

Where do you actually pick up rental skis in Serfaus?

Serfaus packs almost all of its hire capacity into two adjacent addresses. Patscheider Sport runs Check In inside the cable car valley station at Dorfbahnstraße 75, reachable on +43 5476 6202 510, and INTERSPORT Kirschner sits at Dorfbahnstraße 76 on +43 5476 60300. From either counter you board the lifts in the same building complex, which removes the usual walk in ski boots.

Higher up, Patscheider's Take Off outlet hands over prepared skis and snowboards at the Komperdell mid-station. Equipment hired at Take Off can be returned at Check In and the reverse also works, and returns are free until 10:00 the next morning. A second Kirschner shop trades in the village centre, and Sport Point by Hämmerle covers the independent end of the market.

How much can families save on ski hire in Serfaus?

Neither of the two main Serfaus operators posts a euro day rate on its public pages, so compare the discount structures instead. As of 15 September 2026, INTERSPORT Kirschner lists children up to 10 free when both parents hire skis or snowboards, 50% off for teenagers up to 14, a 7-days-for-6 week, a free helmet with every children's ski set, free daily servicing and 10% off online reservations.

On the Patscheider side, the SPORT 2000 rent Serfaus page advertises up to 20% off online bookings plus free exchange and pickup the day before. Regional listings show 12% at Sport Krismer in Fiss and 10% at Sport 2000 Burtscher in Ried im Oberinntal, so the online channel is where the money is saved.

How do you book ski rental in Serfaus step by step?

  1. Fix your dates and pickup point

    Decide whether you want gear in the valley or on the mountain. Check In at Dorfbahnstraße 75 and INTERSPORT Kirschner at number 76 both sit at the base station, while Take Off issues equipment at the Komperdell mid-station. Families with small children usually favour the valley shops, because a boot swap on day one takes minutes rather than a lift ride.

  2. Reserve online for the discount

    Book through the shop's network portal rather than by email. INTERSPORT Kirschner applies 10% off online reservations, and the SPORT 2000 rent Serfaus page quotes up to 20% off online bookings. Both figures were live on 15 September 2026. Peak weeks around New Year and February half term sell out of premium categories first, so reserve as early as your travel dates allow.

  3. Claim the family and week deals

    Enter every family member in one booking. The Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis listings show children up to 10 hiring free when both parents rent for the same period, teenagers up to 14 at half price and a 7-day hire billed as 6 days. A free children's helmet comes with each child ski set at INTERSPORT Kirschner.

  4. Collect the afternoon before

    Regional shop listings show collection from 16:00 on the day before your first ski day. That avoids the 08:30 crush on Sunday changeover. Ask at the counter whether the rental clock starts on the collection afternoon or the first ski morning, as this differs between shops.

  5. Use the depot and the late return

    Patscheider stores skis at the rebuilt station complex serving the Komperdell and Alpkopf lifts, so equipment never travels to your hotel. Returns are accepted until 10:00 the following day at no extra cost, which suits a Saturday departure after breakfast. Optional insurance covers theft, loss and damage with no deductible.

What can you rent in Serfaus beyond skis and boards?

Winter hire in Serfaus goes past the standard ski set. Patscheider lists toboggans for collection at Take Off and the S1 Center, with drop-off possible at Check In in the valley station, and reserved snow bikes and other fun sports items are issued at Take Off. Strollers are rented at the S1 Center and the On Shop, which matters in a village built around family traffic.

INTERSPORT Rent's Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis range covers all-mountain, race and slalom carving skis alongside snowboards, touring and cross-country equipment. In summer, INTERSPORT Kirschner Centre switches to e-bikes and bicycles with daily and weekly rates, and also rents hiking backpacks and GPS devices. Multi-day bookings are priced lower per day, according to its listing checked on 15 September 2026.

What mistakes cost skiers time in Serfaus?

Three errors show up repeatedly. First, walking in at 08:30 on a changeover Sunday without a reservation: both base-station shops recommend online check-in before peak weeks, and the booking also carries a 10% to 20% discount. Second, skipping the 16:00 pickup slot the afternoon before, which is offered by the listed shops in the area.

Third, paying for a hotel ski room when the operator already stores equipment at the lift. Patscheider's depot sits in the station complex serving the Komperdell and Alpkopf lifts. One more detail: with 204 km of pistes and around 70 lifts on the plateau, a beginner ski from the basic category can feel slow by day three, so use the free exchange and daily servicing.

What are the alternatives if Serfaus shops are booked out?

The lift network is shared, so a shop in another village still puts you on the same 204 km of slopes. Fiss has Sport Krismer at Seilbahnstrasse 38 with up to 12% online discount, plus a rental point at the Schönjoch, Möseralm and Sonnenbahn base station at Seilbahnstraße 42. For Ladis, Sport 2000 Burtscher in Ried im Oberinntal is listed 3.3 km from the village centre with up to 10% off.

Marketplaces are the other route. CheckYeti, mietski.com and Ski-Lifts all list Serfaus shops and pool availability across operators, which helps in the week before travel. Cross-village returns are not standard, though: only operators with several outlets, Patscheider Sport in this case, publish a swap between Check In and Take Off.
