UPDATE June 22 '23: Six months later I heard from someone at…read moreSalewa USA, who's apparently arranged for me to return the items to Salewa USA for a refund, which I just did. Thus it appears this story (eventually) has a "happy ending." That said, I'm still not "giving all the stars back" because communication really could've been better and I still don't know whether it was at least partially Salewa's fault that my return to Italy was "bounced" back to me.

We needed to rent a full set of skis / boots, etc. for myself and my son. We completed the request…read moreonline, and picked up the next day. Service was so quick, and the guys were super friendly. The equipment was very high quality and fitted properly. If you need ski rentals - check them out!

Three of us arrived in Selva Val Gardena for a week of skiing. We opted to rent skis as it is very…read moreexpensive to bring skis flying from the USA. We walked into the first rental shop (there are many) and were asked to wait 20 minutes as the rental guy was on a break. As we wanted to ski that afternoon we decided we did not need to wait and walked across the street to Intersport. What a stroke of luck. The guys working there, Hannes, Killian, Marc and Jesko, were all amazing. They are all fluent in Italian, German and English and Hannes got us set up in no time and recommended the best area to get started for skiing that afternoon as well as where to go for aprés ski (La Stua) and had us store the rental skis as well as our own ski boots (on a boot dryer all night) at the shop. We would walk a few blocks from our apartment each morning and our boots would be already waiting for us. One day, my friend complained of one of his boots possibly leaking and when we showed up the next morning, Killian had repaired it. I highly recommend this shop if you are skiing in Val Gardena.

In the last 15 years I had 7 or 8 snowboard INSTRUCTORS. In the last 3 days I had the opportunity…read moreto have classes with Dennis, and I can say that he is the best by far. He knows the techniques, has the patience to teach, try different methods and approaches to make sure you understand everything and he also is always smiling and trying to make you the best snowboarder possible. If someone asks me where to go to learn snowboard I have no doubt at all to say Sölden with Sunup with Dennis.

The bikes were very good. The service is also very good. We rent 4 mountainbikes and 1 e-bike for a…read morewhole day. We will come back next year!
