The supermarket in the back of the store is a real gem and has something every person who has been in the area for a while from the UK will be looking for, Heinz baked beans.

The sports section is worth a look too although you'll generally find the same stuff cheaper elsewhere.

Sport Kostner is an all encompassing store located in what is the centre of Corvara for shopping…read more It is at the top of the village by the main bus stop and despite it's name it also has a supermarket, newsagents, general store and children's clothing section all under one roof as well the sport section. The newsagent is well stocked and has English press as well as Italian and German and also has a good local book section with guides, maps and general information books. The supermarket and general stores are also good if a little pricey though you can usually find everything you need in them. The kids clothing part is quite trendy and a bit Benetton like but for mums with money it's a good place to visit and it is certainly nearly always busy. The upper two floors are occupied by the sports section and they have good stock in both summer and winter. It's mostly well known labels and technical gear but all very good at a price. They are extremely helpful and stock a good range of climbing and ski hardware as well depending on the season.

We walked into the first rental shop (there are many) and were asked to wait 20 minutes as the rental guy was on a break. As we wanted to ski that afternoon we decided we did not need to wait and walked across the street to Intersport. What a stroke of luck. The guys working there, Hannes, Killian, Marc and Jesko, were all amazing. They are all fluent in Italian, German and English and Hannes got us set up in no time and recommended the best area to get started for skiing that afternoon as well as where to go for aprés ski (La Stua) and had us store the rental skis as well as our own ski boots (on a boot dryer all night) at the shop. We would walk a few blocks from our apartment each morning and our boots would be already waiting for us. One day, my friend complained of one of his boots possibly leaking and when we showed up the next morning, Killian had repaired it. I highly recommend this shop if you are skiing in Val Gardena.
