Whilst the last few months have been extremely challenging for everybody one fact is for certain:
The world keeps spinning!
The first snow has fallen in the French Alps and winter is most certainly on its way.

We are starting to get used to conditions and requirements due to Covid-19 that were unthinkable many months ago. Talks about traveling and winter holidays are starting and we are confident that a 2020/21 winter season will go ahead!

Book with confidence! ‘Flexi-Covid’ offers our guests maximum flexibility for the upcoming winter season!

Since we have published our ‘Flexi-Covid’ booking offer back in May a lot has changed so please find our updated terms below.
Please be aware that we state the full ‘Flexi-Covid’ terms on your booking confirmation. Below, you can find an overview of these:

---
