Marietta Hoffmann

Our family expert

Marietta is a passionate recreational athlete. In summer, she spends her free time in the mountains – either cycling or hiking. In winter, she loves to swoosh down powder-snow slopes, unless she's busy teaching her little ones how to do the snowplough at the children's area, of course ...

As a RENTertainer from the very beginning, Marietta has been equipping winter sports enthusiasts with the right gear for many years. As a mother of three, she knows exactly what to look out for when it comes to finding the perfect equipment for kids. In the online magazine, she shares her insight with the INTERSPORT Rent community.
