Onlyski FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to Onlyski, your reference point for ski, snowboard and equipment rental in Valle d’Aosta.
Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about storage, rentals, bookings, and services.

Do you have a ski storage?

Yes, we have a ski storage located on the basement floor of the Express Rental.
It consists of lockers for 2, 4, or 8 pairs of skis. Lockers are accessible through the rental shop during opening hours. Alternatively, you can access it through the Monte Rosa residence (next to the butcher shop) via a secondary door, open from 6:00 to 22:00.

Do you have storage on the slopes?

Yes, at the Les Suches rental you’ll find lockers for 2 or 4 people, easily reachable via cable car. Opening hours match those of the rental: 9:00 – 16:30.

Can I book a locker?

Yes, you can reserve a locker only together with your equipment booking by selecting the “locker delivery” option. The locker will be reserved for the full rental period, but payment must be made in the shop.

Can I leave my equipment in the shop overnight?

Yes, you can leave your equipment in the shop overnight by using the paid ski storage service. The lockers are secure and heated, ideal for storing your equipment and personal belongings.
Anyone who cannot store their equipment and does not wish to rent a locker must return everything every evening and rent it again the following day.
Please note: in this case, the rental continuity and any related price advantages will no longer apply.

Can I book skipasses or lessons online?

No, Only Ski provides rental services only.

Do you offer half-day rentals?

Yes, but only in the afternoon.
The half-day starts at 12:30, with equipment pickup available from 12:00.

By what time must the equipment be returned?

Equipment must be returned by 18:00 on the last rental day, or by 10:00 the following morning with no extra charge.

Is the ski helmet included?

No, the ski helmet is not included and must be rented separately.
Important: from November 2025 helmets are mandatory for everyone.

Can I change equipment if I have problems?

Yes, during your rental period you may replace certain items, even across categories.
Upgrading to a higher category requires paying the price difference; downgrades do not receive refunds.

Can I try different models during the rental period?

Yes. In addition to changes for necessity (size, skill level, comfort), “pleasure changes” are allowed: the first change within the same category is for free, from the second change onwards, the daily rate restarts from the base tariff.

 

Can I switch from skis to snowboard (or vice versa)?

You may switch once at no extra cost, except for any price differences between categories.
If you use both types for one or more days or switch more than once, the second item will be charged as an extra rental with a 30% discount.
You must also keep both items with you.
The same applies between skis/snowboard and ski touring or freeride equipment.

Can I return equipment to a different rental location?

No, equipment must be returned to the same location where it was picked up.

Do you offer home delivery?

No, we do not offer home delivery.
However, delivery to hotels is available if the accommodation allows it.

Are ski poles included?

Yes, poles are always included with ski rentals.
If you rent boots only or poles only, the poles must be paid for.

Do you sell clothing or equipment?

For full ski clothing, visit our Only Ski Shop, where you’ll find a wide range of technical apparel and accessories.

Do you rent ski clothing?

The booking is valid only after confirmation.

Can I book freeride or ski touring gear?

If you need boots as well, select the Platinum Set.

Can I book a splitboard?

Do you sell used skis?

For available models, contact our La Thuile or Morgex locations.

Do you offer seasonal rentals?

Yes, we offer a limited number of seasonal packages.
Requests must be made between April and September of the previous season, for both new and used equipment, for adults and children.

Can I book at the last minute?

No, bookings must be made at least 24 hours before the first rental day.

Can I book just a half-day?

No, the minimum bookable duration is one full day.

Which information is required for booking?

For each participant: full name, age, weight, height, skill level and shoe size.
If using your own boots, specify the shell length in mm in the notes, so we can pre-adjust the bindings.
This is usually found on the boot heel near the mondo point size (e.g. 260 MP – 305 mm).

 

How does the online booking work?

You can book directly from the “Book Online” section of our website.
You can choose between in-store pickup (Express, Les Suches or Morgex), locker delivery (Only Ski Express), or hotel delivery.
To complete the booking, adjustment data is required for each person: name, weight, height, age, shoe size and experience level.

I have a discount code. Where do I enter it?

In the cart page, at the end of selecting your equipment, you’ll find a field dedicated to discount codes.

Which dates should I enter?

Enter the first and last day of equipment use.
Be careful not to confuse them with the arrival and departure dates of your stay—they may not match.

When can I pick up the booked equipment?

Between 17:00 and 18:00 on the day before the rental starts.

I’m entitled to a hotel discount. How do I get it?

You must select “hotel delivery” during booking: the discount is applied automatically and the equipment is delivered to your hotel.

If I booked without selecting hotel delivery, can I have the discount later?

No, the discount cannot be applied afterwards if not selected during booking.

If I choose hotel delivery, where and when will I find the equipment?

Equipment will be delivered after 17:00 on the day before your rental starts.
If the hotel has personal lockers, your equipment will be placed there; otherwise, it will be left in the ski room.
Every item will be labeled with your name.

If I stay at TH – Planibel, where will I find my equipment?

If you selected hotel delivery and are staying at TH – Planibel, your equipment will not be in the hotel ski room. You must pick it up at our Only Ski Express location.

Can I leave the equipment in the hotel at the end of my stay?

Yes, if you booked the delivery service online.
If you didn’t select this option during booking, you must return the equipment to the shop.

If I booked shop pickup, can I try the equipment first and then have it delivered to the hotel?

No, if delivery was not booked in advance, you must bring the equipment to the hotel yourself.

How do I choose the most suitable equipment?

If you’re unsure about your level or the equipment, check the “What type of skier are you?” section (link).

Can I try the equipment?

Yes. Once on site, you can try the equipment and change it if necessary—regardless of pickup method (shop, locker or hotel delivery).
However, this may take some time, so providing accurate information during booking helps minimize changes.

If I chose hotel delivery and need to change equipment, will the replacement be delivered to the hotel?

No, changes must be made directly in the shop.
You must bring the equipment to be replaced and, once changed, take the new items back to the hotel yourself.
For boot changes, remember to bring your skis so we can adjust the bindings correctly.

I have my own boots and want hotel delivery for the skis. What should I do?

You must indicate the shell length (in millimeters) in the Notes section.
Without this information, delivery cannot be made.

Where can I find the boot shell length?

In most models it is printed on the heel, near the mondo point size (e.g. 27.5 MP – 315 mm).
Be careful not to confuse the mondo point (size) with the shell length in mm.

Can I reserve a specific model?

No, it’s not possible to choose a specific model, but you can write your preferences in the notes section and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Will the equipment I receive be the same as the one shown in the photos?

No, images are for illustration only.

I haven’t received the booking confirmation.

The payment likely did not go through. Check your PayPal account; if the amount was charged, contact us at onlyski@lathuile.it.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Payment is processed through PayPal.
You can check out as a guest using a credit card, or—if you have a PayPal account—pay via balance, credit card, or bank account.

I can’t complete the online booking.

Try closing the website and starting over; this usually resolves the issue.
If not, try another device or browser.
