<\/p>\n

Today we’re announcing the launch of the Alpy ChatGPT App \u2014 a native AI-powered ski rental assistant built directly into ChatGPT. Starting now, you can tell ChatGPT where you’re skiing, when you’re going, and what you need, and it will come back with real options from real shops at pre-booked prices. No switching tabs. No filling in forms. Just a conversation \u2014 and a booking.<\/p>\n

How it works<\/h2>\n

The Alpy ChatGPT App lives natively inside ChatGPT, built on OpenAI’s Apps SDK. You don’t download anything extra \u2014 you just start a conversation. Tell the app what you need, and it searches our entire network in real time to find the best options for you.<\/p>\n

\n

Try something like this<\/p>\n

“I need ski gear for two adults and a beginner kid in Zermatt in January, mid-range budget.”<\/p>\n

The app responds with tailored equipment options, live availability, and side-by-side prices from local partner shops \u2014 all in the same chat window.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It works for any resort in our network, any group size, any skill level from first-timers to expert skiers, and any date range. Compare options, ask for advice, and confirm a booking \u2014 without ever leaving ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

Why we built this<\/h2>\n

We’ve been in this business since 2006. For nearly 20 years, the friction points in ski rental have stayed stubbornly in place: clunky filter menus, duplicate tabs, static search results that don’t understand context. The core problem has always been that ski rental is a complex decision \u2014 resort, dates, group size, ability level, budget \u2014 and traditional search interfaces were never really designed for it.<\/p>\n

AI changes that. When you can describe what you need in plain language and get back a smart, personalised response, the whole experience shifts. We’ve been watching the ChatGPT ecosystem closely since OpenAI launched its Apps SDK in late 2025, and we moved quickly to be the first major European ski rental brand to build a native app inside it.<\/p>\n

For 18 years, our entire focus has been removing every unnecessary step between a skier and the perfect rental. The ChatGPT App is the natural next step in that journey \u2014 people are already using AI to plan every part of their trips, and now they can book their ski equipment in the same conversation<\/p>\n
