Since its founding in 1956, Bründl Sports has embraced the concept of ski rental—a philosophy that was revolutionary at the time and remains more relevant than ever today. As a long-standing partner of the Snowsports Academy, Bründl Sports supports the training and development of ski and snowboard instructors, thereby promoting quality and professionalism in winter sports. In an era where sustainability and flexibility take center stage, renting ski equipment offers numerous advantages for families, children, and occasional skiers. But Bründl Sports’ approach goes far beyond simple rentals: it uniquely combines convenience, innovation, and environmental awareness.
Why Rent Instead of Buy?
Purchasing new ski equipment every year is not only expensive but also unsustainable. Many skiers use their equipment for only a few days per season, while rental skis, thanks to frequent use, are far more resource-efficient and environmentally friendly.
A key advantage of ski rentals at Bründl Sports is access to the latest top models from leading ski brands. Whether beginner, intermediate, or expert, the perfectly maintained skis cater to every skill level and requirement, providing the ideal equipment for maximum performance and enjoyment. With a wide selection of brands, you can test different models and find the perfect fit for your needs—all without worrying about storage, maintenance, or care.
Herbert Neumayer, a member of Bründl Sports’ management team and an expert in the rental business, sums it up perfectly: "Smart people rent their skis!" For families looking to save space at home or for children who quickly outgrow their gear, ski rental is an ideal and practical solution.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Bründl Sports demonstrates that ski rental and sustainability can go hand in hand.
The Benefits Are Clear:
Efficient Use: Rental skis are used about 50 days per season compared to privately owned skis, which see only 15–20 days of use.
Extended Lifecycle: After their rental period in Austria, skis are often passed on to rental businesses in smaller ski markets.
Shorter Transport Routes: Collaboration with Austrian producers minimizes emissions from long transport distances.
As a partner of the Snowsports Academy, Bründl Sports ensures that ski and snowboard instructors have access to high-quality professional equipment during their training and through special offers afterward—a significant contribution to promoting sustainable and safe winter sports.
Additionally, Bründl Sports is actively involved in innovative recycling projects. In collaboration with the University of Leoben, old skis and ski boots are being recycled and transformed into new materials.
Flexibility for Every Need
Whether beginner, expert, child, or adult, Bründl Sports’ ski rental offers tailored solutions for everyone. The rental program for children has long been a popular option, relieving families financially while ensuring the best equipment.
A recent highlight is the ski rental service for adults at the Designer Outlet Salzburg. This pilot project targets occasional skiers from the city and surrounding areas who ski only a few days per year. Here, they can rent state-of-the-art equipment without the commitment of purchasing.
Enhanced Convenience with Online Reservations
Bründl Sports has revolutionized the rental process with an innovative online reservation platform. Customers can book their equipment in advance, enjoy price benefits, and significantly speed up the pickup process on ski days.
Pre-reservation not only ensures faster availability but also allows for better preparation of the equipment. Over 30% of customers already use this service, with 90% of them paying in advance—making for a stress-free and seamless ski day experience.
Innovative Offerings: From Skis to Ski Apparel
Bründl Sports’ rental service extends beyond skis to include snowboards, cross-country skis, snowshoes, and helmets. For the past two years, select locations have also offered ski apparel rentals—a solution particularly popular among international guests traveling from distant countries.
Looking Ahead
Bründl Sports’ rental business continues to grow steadily. Through targeted investments in quality, service, and sustainability, the company remains an industry leader. Bründl Sports proves that sustainable winter sports are not only possible but also a forward-thinking choice. Renting instead of buying is a decision that pays off.
