SKI Toni – History and Tradition of Ski Rental in Selva di Val Gardena
The history of one of the first ski rentals in Selva di Val Gardena
In 1966, Toni Demetz founded one of the first ski rental shops in Selva di Val Gardena, turning his passion for mountains and skiing into a landmark for winter sports in the Dolomites. Together with his brothers Erich and Arnold, he created a family business that still stands today for quality, experience and innovation in ski rental services.
From the very beginning, SKI Toni became known for professionalism, personalized customer service and high-quality ski equipment directly on the slopes of Val Gardena. During the 1980s, the company became the first ski rental in Selva to introduce stone grinding ski technology, offering advanced professional ski service.
As winter tourism in the Dolomites continued to grow, the business evolved while maintaining the family values and philosophy established by Toni Demetz. Later, Toni’s sons Edy and Ivo Demetz joined the company and continue to manage it today with the same passion and dedication.
In 2000, the current SKI Toni rental shop was rebuilt and expanded into a modern and functional location. In 2004, the ski workshop and tuning laboratory were further enlarged to ensure even higher service standards.
Our mission is to offer customers the highest quality ski rental experience in Selva di Val Gardena. For this reason, we continuously invest in professional training, technical updates and the best ski and snowboard equipment from leading brands.
Today, SKI Toni is a leading reference point for ski rental in Val Gardena and the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage area, thanks to experience, innovation and personalized service.
