About Local CHX
Local CHX is Chamonix's only delivery-focused ski and snowboard rental service, bringing custom-fitted equipment directly to guests' accommodation anywhere in the Chamonix valley. Founded by a team of local ski professionals, the company operates from a central shop at 128 Place Edmond Desailloud near the Aiguille du Midi, but the real draw is their door-to-door service: a certified fitter arrives at your chalet, apartment, or hotel with a van loaded with equipment, fits everything on-site, and returns to collect it at the end of your stay.
The rental range covers alpine ski packages from beginner through performance level, snowboard setups, children's packages, and all necessary accessories including helmets, poles, and goggles. Boots are fitted using the same heat-moulding and alignment techniques employed by the best traditional shops — the only difference is that the fitting happens in the comfort of a living room rather than a crowded retail floor. If anything needs adjusting after the first day on the mountain, the Local CHX team responds to make swaps or modifications, often delivering replacement equipment directly to your door the same afternoon.
The delivery model is particularly popular with families and groups staying in self-catering accommodation across the Chamonix valley, from Les Houches to Argentière. Eliminating the rental shop visit saves a significant chunk of the first morning and removes the stress of navigating unfamiliar streets with young children in tow. The shop at Place Edmond Desailloud is also open daily from 8 am to 8 pm for walk-in customers who prefer the traditional approach, giving Local CHX the flexibility to serve both convenience-focused visitors and those who enjoy browsing equipment in person.
