Since its founding in 1956, Bründl Sports has focused on the concept of ski rental – a philosophy that was revolutionary then and is more relevant today than ever. As a long-standing partner of the Snowsports Academy , Bründl Sports also supports the training and professional development of ski and snowboard instructors, thereby promoting quality and professionalism in winter sports. In an era where sustainability and flexibility are paramount, ski equipment rental offers numerous advantages for families, children, and casual skiers. But Bründl Sports' approach goes far beyond simply renting equipment: it uniquely combines comfort, innovation, and environmental awareness.
Why rent instead of buy?
Buying the latest ski equipment every year is not only expensive but also unsustainable. Many skiers only use their equipment for a few days per season, while rental skis, due to their frequent use, are significantly more resource-efficient and less harmful to the environment.
A key advantage of ski rental at Bründl Sports is access to the latest top models from leading ski brands. Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or expert, the perfectly prepared skis offer the ideal equipment for every skill level and requirement. The wide selection of brands allows you to try out different models and find the perfect gear for your needs. This way, you always benefit from top performance and maximum skiing enjoyment without having to worry about storage, maintenance, or care.
Herbert Neumayer, member of the management team at Bründl Sports and an expert in the rental business, sums it up perfectly: "The smart ones rent the skis!" Especially for families who want to save space at home, or for children who quickly outgrow their equipment, ski rental is the ideal and practical solution.
A contribution to sustainability
Bründl Sports proves that ski rental and sustainability can go hand in hand.
The advantages are obvious:
More efficient use: Rental skis are used for around 50 days per season, while privately purchased skis only last for about 15 to 20 days.
Extended life cycle: After their rental period in Austria, the skis are often passed on to ski rental companies in smaller ski countries.
Short transport routes: By collaborating with Austrian producers, emissions from long transport routes are minimized.
As a partner of the Snowsports Academy , Bründl Sports helps ensure that ski and snowboard instructors have access to high-quality and professional equipment both during their training and afterwards through special opinion leader offers – an important contribution to promoting sustainable and safe winter sports.
Furthermore, Bründl Sports is involved in innovative recycling projects. In cooperation with the University of Leoben, they are working on professionally recycling old skis and ski boots and transforming them into new materials.
Flexibility for every need
Whether beginner, pro, child or adult – Bründl Sports ski rental offers tailor-made solutions for everyone. Children's ski rental, in particular, has been a popular offering for years, easing the financial burden on families while guaranteeing the best equipment.
A new highlight is the ski rental service for adults at the Designer Outlet Salzburg. This pilot project is aimed at occasional skiers from the city and surrounding area who only ski a few days a year. Here they can rent state-of-the-art equipment without any obligation to buy.
Greater convenience through online booking
Bründl Sports has revolutionized the rental process with an innovative online reservation platform. Customers can book their equipment in advance, benefit from price advantages, and significantly speed up pickup on the day of skiing.
Pre-booking not only ensures faster availability of equipment but also allows for better preparation. Over 30 percent of customers already use this service, and 90 percent of them pay for their equipment in advance. This makes for a stress-free and uncomplicated day on the slopes.
Innovative offers: From skis to ski clothing
Bründl Sports' rental service includes not only skis, but also snowboards, cross-country skis, snowshoes, and helmets. For the past two years, they have also offered ski clothing rentals at select locations – a solution that has proven particularly popular with international guests from more distant countries.
A glimpse into the future
Bründl Sports' rental business is growing steadily. Through targeted investments in quality, service, and sustainability, the company remains a pioneer in the industry. Bründl Sports demonstrates that sustainable winter sports are not only possible but also the way of the future. Renting instead of buying – a decision that pays off.
