1. PRICES 

The holiday programme descriptions and rate tables provide a guide to the services included in the package rates we offer. Our prices are posted in euros including all taxes. The prices do not include personal expenses.  

These prices vary by when the holiday is taken and in some cases by the number of people indicated on the holiday description.  

1.1. Rate tables 

Rate tables can be found on the pricing pages and provide a guide to the services included in our package rates. Prices were determined in euros as at 03/20/2024 for winter 2024/2025 fares based on the hospitality rates and market situation in France. For stays at Résidences they include all taxes (except tourism taxes) and provision of the lodging, including utilities (water, electricity, heating).  

Holidays booked for a special non-refundable rate without a cancellation option shall not be subject to any refunds or changes, and full payment is due upon confirming the booking.   

1.2. “Bons plans” packages 

Certain restrictions apply to Bons Plans packages, which cannot be combined or backdated, and are subject to availability and valid for the destinations and periods indicated. To access specific Bons Plans packages cited on the website, you must provide the PROMO code for the desired package at the time of booking (e.g. SOLO). However, only promotional codes (one code per booking) provided at the time of booking shall be acknowledged. 

Promotions shall apply to eligible services, excluding optional services for additional fees.  

1.3. Chosen services 

The services chosen at the time of booking are owed in their entirety. Unused services are not refundable.

For rental holidays: Depending on the type of lodging, you will be asked for a security deposit of 300-2,000 euros upon arrival. It will be returned to you after your stay, minus any replacement or cleaning fees and/or any other additional unpaid services. The client will be charged for lost keys or cards. The client is responsible for any broken or damaged objects, and any damages that may be caused to the facilities and items in the residence. If the security deposit does not provide sufficient funds, the difference shall then be requested. 

The security deposit may also be used to cover non-payment of onsite services, specifically for bar beverages.  

2. PRICE REVISION : 

The prices indicated on the rate tables were established on 03/20/2024 based on the prices for the provision of various services in force on that date.  

If the price of fuel causes these prices to change, in terms of taxes or licence fees for the contracted travel services or exchange rates pertaining to the contract, the distributor shall have the option to increase or decrease the sales prices in accordance with Article R211-8 of the French Tourism Code. Regardless of the amount of increase, the client will receive a clear and legible detailed explanation in non-digital format no later than twenty (20) days prior to the start of the holiday. 

Thus, any changes to these market conditions are likely to cause a price change. If the package rate increases by more than 8%, the client may agree to a change of their contract and a substitute of services or to withdraw their contract and receive a refund without penalties for the amounts paid within a maximum period of 14 days in application of the provisions in Article R211-9 of the French Tourism Code. The client is given seven days to inform the distributor of their decision in writing, after which their decision to withdraw the contract shall incur the fees set forth in Article 10 hereafter. Conversely, if the aforementioned prices are reduced, the client may receive a reduction commensurate to the price. 

3. PAYMENT METHODS  

Bookings longer than 30 days from the start date:  

An advance of 30% of the service price payable at the time of booking in the Lodgings portion of Résidence. For supplemental services (ski lifts, ski equipment, wellness facilities), 10% of the amount for these services shall be paid in advance at the time of booking. The balance of the bill must be settled no later than and without notification ONE MONTH BEFORE THE HOLIDAY BEGINS.  

Registrations confirmed in under 30 days from the start of the holiday must be paid in the full amount of the booking. 

With regard to non-refundable rates without a cancellation option, the total price of the holiday is owed when the booking is confirmed.
