About Mountain Story Tignes
Mountain Story is a ski and snowboard rental shop in Tignes Le Lac, positioned next to the Palafour and Tovières ski lifts on the snow front. The shop offers a premium rental experience with year-new equipment — every ski and snowboard in the fleet is current-season stock, ensuring renters get the latest technology and freshest edge profiles rather than well-worn multi-season gear.
The rental range covers alpine skis from beginner to expert, snowboard packages, and children's equipment. Mountain Story also operates as a retail store, allowing customers to test-ski demo models on the slopes before purchasing. Boot fitting includes custom insole moulding and shell adjustments, and the workshop provides overnight tuning, waxing, and edge work. In summer, the shop transitions to mountain bike hire with full-suspension trail and enduro bikes.
Mountain Story's Le Lac location gives direct access to both the Tovières gondola — which links to Val d'Isère — and the Palafour chairlift serving the Tignes bowl. This dual-access position means skiers can explore the full Espace Killy without backtracking. The shop's focus on new-season equipment and its test-before-you-buy retail model make it a strong choice for intermediate to advanced skiers looking to upgrade their setup.
