About Bayard Sport
Bayard Sport operates from a flagship store at Bahnhofplatz right next to the Zermatt train station, with the Gornergrat cable car and tourist information office just steps away. A second rental location sits directly at the Sunnegga-Rothorn valley station, allowing guests to pick up skis and ride the funicular straight up to 2,288 metres without walking across town carrying gear. This dual-location strategy makes Bayard one of the most convenient rental options in Zermatt.
Their rental fleet spans ski and snowboard packages across sport, performance, and freeride tiers, plus mountaineering equipment for backcountry touring and summer alpine pursuits. A standout feature of their rental programme is the ability to swap skis or snowboards at any point during the rental period at no additional cost — so if conditions change from groomed piste to fresh powder, you can switch to a wider freeride setup without penalty. Online booking is available with in-store pickup at either location.
When the snow melts, Bayard pivots to mountain bike and e-bike rentals suited to the extensive trail network around Zermatt and the wider Matterhorn region. The Bahnhofplatz flagship also houses a fashion and sportswear retail section, making it a one-stop shop for visitors who need anything from a replacement pair of goggles to a new down jacket for an unexpectedly cold week in the Alps.
