Ski Service Corvatsch

What Ski Service Corvatsch does

Ski Service Corvatsch AG is a privately held Swiss sports retailer and rental operator headquartered in Silvaplana-Surlej, Canton of Grisons, serving the Upper Engadin / St. Moritz region. Founded approximately 1974-1975, the company operates 16 retail and rental locations distributed across village centers (Silvaplana-Surlej, Silvaplana, St. Moritz, Pontresina), mountain cable car stations in the Corviglia ski area, inside five St. Moritz luxury hotels (Kempinski, Badrutt's Palace, Carlton, Grace La Margna, Kulm), and an outlet in St. Moritz Bad. The workforce expands to over 100 in winter from a smaller base year-round, comprising an international, multilingual team.

The company's core offering is a year-round equipment rental and retail platform for alpine and summer sports, spanning skis, snowboards, bikes and e-bikes (hardtail, full-suspension, kids), avalanche safety equipment, apparel, and accessories across 60 premium brands. Supporting services include ski and snowboard tuning with ISO-Norm 11110 binding adjustment, custom bootfitting and insoles at the Surlej location, equipment storage/depots, mountain bike servicing, gift vouchers, and a premium "Rent Like A Pro" tier. The technology stack is a Bründl Sport Service Plattform (BSSP)-powered online rental and booking platform ("Easy Rent") integrated with SIX Payment Services for payments and Sendinblue/Brevo for email marketing, hosted on conova infrastructure in Salzburg.

Revenue is generated through usage-based equipment rental, one-time retail product sales, per-transaction service fees, and gift voucher sales — all priced in Swiss Francs. Distribution is exclusively owned (no third-party resellers): 16 physical shops plus the company's own e-commerce booking platform with a 10% early-bird online discount. A free loyalty programme ("Skiservice Gästekonto") rewards annual spend of CHF 1,500+ with 5% credit and CHF 5,000+ with 10% credit, plus bonus credits for repeat reservations. The company is managed by Curdin Conrad and Conradin Conrad and reports no external institutional ownership.
