COVID-19 Refund Policy

Important Covid-19 refund promise.

If you are unable to travel to the country or resort in which this property is located, or the operator is unable to provide their service, specifically due to government-initiated Covid-19 related travel or operational restrictions, you can choose to receive a refund for the full cost of your trip, or transfer your booking to the following season. If travel is unimpeded and the chalet remains open and you choose not to travel, this operator's standard terms and conditions will apply.

A copy of the full terms and conditions are available on request.

Catering

All of this operators chalet hosts, whilst not catering professionals, are trained to cook to a carefully pre-planned menu. They'll aim to provide quality home cooking that is delicious and plentiful.

Whether your holiday will involve first lifts and fresh tracks, or mid-morning starts and leisurely lunches, they’ll be up and about working hard to get your day off to the best possible start (and they'll try to be quiet - promise!). You can enjoy a hearty breakfast with a choice of cereals and muesli, accompanied by yoghurt and fresh baguette with butter and jams. They also offer a hot option on 5 of 7 mornings during your stay.

Every afternoon you'll return to the chalet after skiing to find a delicious afternoon tea waiting to be demolished! You'll tuck into a range of teas, freshly brewed coffee, fresh baguette and butter, jams and chocolate spread. Oh, and let's not forget the freshly baked cake or biscuits of the day.

You are equally well catered for in the evenings, where you will sit down to a delicious three-course meal, accompanied by bottled red and white wines (unlimited throughout the meal). They'll also provide you with the option to pre-purchase some upgraded wines (including Rosé), Prosecco or Champagne to enjoy during your stay.

Children are also well catered for and will be served a two-course children’s ‘high tea’ earlier than the adult evening meal - see example children's menu below. To drink, the younger guests will be offered a selection of cordials, fruit juice or water. They regret they can’t supply fizzy drinks.

Breakfast: Every morning you will be offered the choice of cereals and muesli, accompanied by yoghurt and fresh baguette with butter and jams. On 5 mornings this will be accompanied by a ‘hot option’ such as bacon and eggs, and porridge on request.

Afternoon Tea: Help yourselves to biscuits or a slice of cake with tea and coffee every afternoon.

Evening Meal: On 6 evenings they will provide their usual dinner party style dining and you’ll still have one night to make the most of one of their local restaurants.

Optional Extras

Canapes & cheeseboard: add daily pre-dinner canapés and a glass of Prosecco, plus an after-dinner cheese board with port on one night of your stay. Available for exclusive use bookings only. £35 per person, per week.

Upgraded Wine: You can pre-book a selection of upgraded red and white wine, along with rosé, Prosecco and Champagne to enjoy along with the wine provided as part of your holiday.

Example Evening Menu

French Onion Soup

Beef Bourguignon with Spring Onion Mash, Soy & Garlic Spinach and Green Beans

White Chocolate Cheesecake with Raspberry Coulis

Tomato & Mozzarella Caprese Salad

Herb-crusted Salmon served with Ribboned Vegetables, Tagliatelle and a White Wine Cream Sauce

Lemon Posset with Shortbread

Children

As standard, children under 12 years are served their evening meal eat at an earlier time than the adult evening meal. The children's earlier dinner will be served between 5.30pm - 6.30pm.

We have included their standard children’s menu below. They would much rather children eat food that they enjoy, so if there is anything in the menu you feel they simply won’t eat, please do let us know well in advance of arrival and they will adapt the menu accordingly.

Example Children's Menu

Home-made Chicken Goujons with Potato Wedges and Peas

Chocolate Brownie & Ice Cream

Spaghetti Bolognaise

Apple Crumble

Some parents may prefer their children to eat a small portion of the adult evening meal at the same time as the adults. They are happy to accommodate this for exclusive chalet bookings. They regret they can’t accommodate this in shared chalets.

It is usually not possible to serve a children’s menu at the same time as the adult menu. Most chalet kitchens are domestic in nature, and it simply isn’t logistically possible to produce two completely different menus at the same time. If you would like your young children to eat the evening with the adult in an exclusive use chalet, they will normally need to eat from the adult menu (or a simplified version of the adult menu).

Chalet Hosts' Day Off

The chalet hosts have one full day and one morning off per week. Prior to departing on the evening before their mornings off, a self-service breakfast will be laid out. Early in the morning, fresh bread will be delivered to your chalet. Afternoon tea will be available when you return for skiing in the afternoon. The evening of the full day off is an excellent opportunity to try out one of the excellent local restaurants. Their resort team will be happy to make a reservation on your behalf.

Special Dietary Requirements

The model of a catered chalet holiday is based on a pre-selected set menu, served to the whole chalet for the duration of your stay. Ingredients are pre-ordered and delivered to resort well in advance of your stay. Additionally, their hosts are not catering professionals and it is essential they have the time to prepare for requirements that deviate from the set menu. It is this model that allows us to provide competitively priced ski holidays in all of their resorts. It also helps us ensure that their hosts working hours are in line with the legal regulations.

Many catered chalet operators are now charging for special dietary requirements, at anywhere up to £75pp/pw. They aim to continue to be able to cater for special dietary requirements at no extra cost.*

To do this, they need your help. It is essential that all special dietary requirements and allergies are communicated to us a minimum of 3 weeks prior to your holiday to allow us to add these into the ordering cycle.

Any requirements communicated after this time, or upon arrival in resort, will be subject to a locally payable surcharge of €45. Late notice also means they may be unable to cater for your requirements on the first night of your holiday.

It is the group leader’s responsibility to inform us of any dietary requirements their party may have.
