Intersport Rio Sport has three shops in the Sierra Nevada ski resort. Their main rental stores are in the Pradollano square near to the Parador chairlift whilst their principal rental shop is next to "Pans & Company" sandwich bar, close to the Al-Andalus Gondola entrance in the "Plaza Andalucía". As of the winter of 2008/9, they now also have an "Outlet" shop located in the gallery beneath the Hotel Mont Blanc, opposite the Melia Sol y Nieve.

They provide not only the latest equipment, but pride themselves on keeping it all regularly maintained and offering a professional service to all customers. From a sales perspective they have professional and knowledgable staff to be able to allow you to make the right choice especially when it comes to buying ski and snowboard equipment.

Their prices are in line with all other collaborating equipment hire establishments, and if you don't mind spending a little extra they have many of the latest ski and snowboard models available for testing.

The British Ski Center operates out of here, catering for all English speaking tuition requirements.

The owner of Rio Sport is Australian and hence speaks good English. Most of the staff are English speaking and extremely knowledgeable with experience in equipment hire, fittings and sales of equipment and quality ski clothing. Equipment is available for adults and children alike.

Pre-booking equipment is not something that is practiced in Sierra Nevada as there is rarely an issue with stock shortages. If you are travelling in high-season periods, we recommend you obtain your equipment the evening before your first day skiing, (preferably after 6pm), as this will save time in morning queues!

Proposed rates for 2009/10 are as follows*:
