Last January I rented skis from the Namaste store in Argentiere, and had an accident which required…read morea couple of weeks of hospitalization. When I didn't hear from Namaste during my hospitalization, I assumed that the rescue team had returned my equipment to the store. At the end of the season (more than 3 months later!) I got a huge credit-card charge (which, in my opinion, far exceeded the value of the skis). I paid it--I always pay my bills--and contacted the owner, explaining the circumstances and pleading with him to reduce the charge. He promised to get back to me but never did, after he got paid by my credit card. I do not dispute that I bear responsibility for the loss of the skis; however, if Namaste had billed me or contacted me a day or two after the lease expiry it wouldn't have been hard to trace the skis: they were picked up by the rescue team and stored somewhere. 3-4 months later nothing could be done. (A rescue team never leaves behind the belongings of the person who suffered an accident; and obviously they'd be the last people to be tempted to take someone's pair of old rental skis...) In short, be careful: mine was a string of unfortunate accidents but accidents happen, and there are people who might be tempted to take advantage of an accident. Kudos to the rescue team who saved my life.

Such a missed opportunity to do something great - super location, great mechanics yet ownership…read morethat only cares about squeezing every penny out of each customer. I spent thousands of dollars there over the last couple of years and really found the mechanics top notch. But the first time I had a problem, it could have been simply solved and the owner wouldn't even address it. I was shocked after being a loyal customer I could only image how he must gauge tourists. When I told him about the issue I never asked for a specific resolution (just wanted to let the owner Martin, know I was charged for work I didn't request and the work I did request was never done) he had the chance to take accountability and make it right. Instead he told me any problems were between me and the employees he "had nothing to do with it". A terribly spineless way to run a business. Imagine bringing your car in for a brake job and because the mechanics thought it was old looking they give you a new paint job but never do the brakes!! Stay away from here, there is a great shop in Les Houches and a super place in Sallanches.

Fantastic shop, very knowledgeable staff. I'm a yearly snowboarder for over 10 years now and have…read morenot upgraded my gear. I wish I did it sooner! I went to Zero G for boots and came out with a whole new set: board, boots and bindings! I am so happy with the quality of my new equipment. The guy who helped me was patient and happy to answer all my questions! I felt well taken care of and I'd happily go back if I need anymore snowboarding gear. Thank you Zero G!

Always really nice people very wiling to help (in English or French). I needed a enduro bike and…read morethe other big bike place in town (Zero G) wanted an outrageous €70 for the day! Intersport had the same quality bike for €45 and they were nice enough to throw in a pack and extra tube (which I ended up using). They have helped me in the winter too at the main store on the high street.
