Looking for ski rental for Azau or a snowboard for Mount Elbrus? Rock’N’Rent is not in Azau itself. Rock’N’Rent is at Alamat Hotel in Terskol, on the lower level, where you can reserve a set, fit the boots carefully and inspect every item before traveling to the slopes.

Begin with the Mount Elbrus ski and snowboard rental catalog. Current daily rates for individual items are published on the rental prices page.

Where equipment is collected

Collection and return take place at Rock’N’Rent at Alamat Hotel in Terskol. The exact address, map coordinates, opening hours, telephone number and Telegram link are on the contact page. Wait for confirmation before traveling: availability, sizes and the final set are checked for specific dates.

People searching for “ski rental Azau” usually mean where they plan to ride, not where the rental counter is. This page concerns equipment for riding at Mount Elbrus, collected in Terskol.

Equipment available for Mount Elbrus riding

  • alpine skis alone or a set with boots and poles;
  • a snowboard alone or a set with boots;
  • ski and snowboard boots;
  • a ski helmet and goggles;
  • insulated ski gloves;
  • knee and elbow pads;
  • ski clothing and selected accessories;
  • ski-touring and avalanche equipment — only as separately booked items.

Avalanche equipment is confirmed as its own line item. It does not replace avalanche training or a decision about the terrain.

Do not assume that a helmet, goggles or protective pads are included with every ski or snowboard set. Each required item must appear in the confirmed request.

Choosing a ski set

For an initial recommendation, provide height, weight, foot length, riding ability and what you actually plan to do—lessons, relaxed cruising or more confident skiing on groomed runs. Staff confirm the ski length, boot model and binding setup after fitting.

Read the detailed guide to choosing a Mount Elbrus ski rental set. Boot measurements and fitting checks are covered separately in the ski boot fitting guide.

Choosing a snowboard set

Provide height, weight, foot length, riding ability and stance if known. Board width must suit the boot, while binding position must suit the individual rider. Do not select a board by height alone or request a fixed stance without checking it in the actual boots.

Board length and width, boots, stance and binding checks are explained in the Mount Elbrus snowboard rental guide.

Why send a request before arrival

An advance request does not replace fitting, but it helps staff prepare suitable options and reduces the risk of searching for an entire set at the last moment. Send the details early for groups, unusual sizes, children’s equipment and longer rentals.

A booking is confirmed only after the rental shop replies with the equipment, dates, price and applicable conditions. Submitting a form or Telegram message alone does not confirm availability.

Collection checklist

  1. Try both boots with the socks intended for riding.
  2. Check heel retention and the absence of painful pressure.
  3. Confirm that staff set the bindings for the issued boots.
  4. Inspect the skis or board and record existing damage.
  5. Test poles, buckles, adjustments and all additional items.
  6. Match the physical set to the confirmed request and collection documents.

Rental period and price

The price depends on calendar rental days and the selected items. For a multi-day rental, provide exact collection and return dates rather than only an estimated number of days. Ask the shop to approve an extension before the paid period ends.

Discounts, return times, reservations, prepayment and liability are explained in the rental terms. Check the price page and build only the set you actually need in the calculator, instead of renting a one-size-fits-all package.

Common mistakes

  • arriving with a large group on the day you plan to ride, with no request sent;
  • sending only a street-shoe size rather than measured foot length;
  • assuming a helmet and goggles are part of every set;
  • collecting boots without checking both feet and riding stance;
  • choosing skis or a snowboard only from a photograph;
  • not agreeing on an extra day before the rental period expires.

Frequently asked questions

Is Rock’N’Rent in Azau?

No. Rock’N’Rent is at Alamat Hotel in Terskol. Equipment for Mount Elbrus riding is collected and returned there.

Can I rent skis or boots separately?

Yes. Individual items are available, but staff must check boot and binding compatibility before collection.

Can an exact model be guaranteed?

You may state a preference, but the exact model is confirmed according to availability, size, compatibility and fitting.

How do I reserve a set?

Open the equipment calculator, choose the winter section, add the items and send the request. The shop will confirm availability for your dates.

Information to include in the request

  • exact collection and return dates;
  • skis or snowboard and the number of sets;
  • height and weight for each rider;
  • the measured length of both feet in millimeters;
  • an honest description of riding ability;
  • whether a helmet, goggles, gloves, clothing or pads are required;
  • the child’s age and measurements for children’s equipment.

If you already own part of the set, list it separately. If you are renting skis and using your own boots, give the boot-sole length in millimeters, and bring both boots with you—the bindings cannot be set without them. Do not copy settings from another person’s set or adjust bindings yourself after collection.

Helmet, goggles and visibility

Try the helmet and goggles together. They should meet without an uncomfortable gap, while the frame must not press against the nose or restrict vision. Light on the mountain changes fast, so lens condition, ventilation and a clear, undamaged field of view matter far more than how the goggles look. Use the full helmet, goggles and protective equipment guide before collection.
