Hi,
I’m looking for a full AT setup for a friend and possibly boots for myself. First, could anyone recommend a good shop in these parts? Second, is there any used gear out there? Or another good site to find used gear in France?
Thanks

Best sites for used gear are CamptoCamp: http://www.camptocamp.org/forums/viewforum.php?id=12 and skitour: http://www.skitour.fr/forum/list.php?f=1

As for shops, the best is skialp: http://www.skialp.fr/ in Crolles and Barthelemy http://www.barthelemyski.fr/ in the town center next to the Prefecture. There is also Espace Montagne next to IKEA on the ring road. They can be a bit pricey but will match other shop’s prices if you ask. I recently got some ski goggles from Espace Montagne and got some very good advice, their new store is worth a visit anyway.

If you are going touring please make sure you have safety equipment. It is essential to take a transceiver, shovel and probe.  This is in case you are caught in an avalanche, your friends can rescue you.

I have a pair of 26.5 Garmont Endorphin touring boots that I’m selling in Tignes. Send me a PM if you are interested.
