THEFT AND BREAKAGE GUARANTEE FOR SKIING WITH PEACE OF MIND
Protect yourself against the unexpected by subscribing to our guarantee against theft or damage to rented equipment. For a few euros more, you avoid significant costs and ski without any worries.
Skiing with exceptional equipment
At GLISS CENTER, we put high-performance equipment in your hands, prepared with passion by our technicians. A pair of skis of this quality represents a significant investment, with values generally ranging between €400 and €1,500. On the slopes of Vars, the renter is responsible for the equipment entrusted to them.
That's why the GLISS CENTER team asks for an ID as a deposit upon your arrival. An essential precaution. Ski thefts, often opportunistic, usually occur during the lunch break or during après-ski. Equipment left unattended on a rack attracts attention because it is easily resold under the table (between €400 and €500). Prevent an unexpected event from darkening your stay.
Protection designed for you
To ski down La Forêt Blanche with complete peace of mind, GLISS CENTER offers a Guarantee Service option during your equipment reservation. This optional guarantee covers a single claim per piece of equipment during your stay. It protects you against significant replacement costs.
The process is clear: in case of theft, simply provide us with a report of the complaint filed with the Vars gendarmerie. Note, however, an exclusion applies: the equipment is not covered if it is stolen between 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM. Bring your skis inside at night!
Regarding breakage, we cover accidental physical damage occurring on the ski area. Purely aesthetic damage (such as scratches that do not affect the quality of the glide), failure to follow instructions, or intentional faults are not covered.
Deductibles
We prioritize clarity. If an accident occurs, here is the remaining balance to be paid according to the category of your equipment. No hidden fees.
- €50: Skis Baby, Junior Blue
- €90: Skis Junior Red, Teen Racing, Teen Freestyle, Junior Snowboard
- €100: Mini-Skis, Blue Skis, Red Snowboard
- €150: Freestyle Skis, Red Skis
- €200: Black Skis, Black Snowboard
- €300: Gold Skis, Freeride

Why shop insurance remains the most effective?
The Assur’Glisse resort insurance, offered at €3.50 per day in Vars, is excellent for on-slope rescue but does not cover rental equipment. This is a major distinction.
Premium bank cards, such as Visa Premier or Gold Mastercard, require you to pay for the entire service with the card. In the event of a claim, you will have to advance the costs to our shop and then compile a complex administrative file to obtain a refund. As for home insurance, it almost always excludes rented or entrusted goods.
The GLISS CENTER option simplifies everything. The file is settled directly with us, on site.
Our mountain secrets
The GLISS CENTER team lives in the resort all year round and knows the right steps to protect your skis.
- Mix up your skis: place the right ski and the left ski on two distant racks. A thief won't waste time looking for the pair.
- Use a small cable lock: it fits in your pocket and instantly discourages malicious intent.
- Keep an eye on your equipment: on the terrace, choose a table that offers a direct view of the rack.
