In these booking conditions, references to "you" and "your" mean all persons named on the booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date) or any of them, as the context requires.  References to “departure” are to the start date of the arrangements we have contracted to provide.

Due to changes in the law, we may need to update our Booking Conditions from time to time. The latest version can always be found on our websites. If we make a significant change to the Booking Conditions after you’ve booked your holiday with us, we’ll let you know, by resending your booking confirmation with the updated T & C’s..



1. BOOKING YOUR HOLIDAY
 
The booking will only exist once the Booking Confirmation/Invoice is sent to you via email. This booking is made on the terms of these booking conditions.
The first named person on the booking ("group leader") must be authorised to make the booking based on these booking conditions by all persons named on the booking and for all members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making a booking, the party leader confirms that he/she is so authorised and that all party members agree to be bound by these booking conditions. The party leader is responsible for making all payments due to us. The party leader must be at least 18 when the booking is made. The Booking Confirmation invoice will not be sent or valid until all (non-refundable) deposits have been paid.  Please note no booking will exist following a telephone call alone.
  
You can book your holiday on the phone, online or via email. Once you have chosen your date and chalet, we will process the booking in the group leader’s name and send you a link for the deposit/full payment. Once that has been received, we will send you a booking confirmation/invoice. It is your responsibility to check that the details set out on the Booking Confirmation Invoice are correct and to notify Alpine Action as soon as possible if any details are incorrect.
  
2. DEPOSITS, PAYMENTS AND PRICES  
 
Deposit. 
To secure your holiday we require a deposit of £250 per chalet bed. The full balance is due 10 weeks before the departure of your holiday, even if you have paid the full balance, there is a deposit element to your booking payment and this will be shown on your booking confirmation/invoice.
Flight Deposit.
To secure your flight from Gatwick with a return transfer, there will be a deposit of £100 per person. Our flights are limited. The full names of passengers must be completed within 48 hours of adding the flights to your booking failure to do so can result in losing the deposit and travel.
Balance Payments.
The full balance is due 10 weeks before departure. You will be sent an invoice reminder. Failure to pay your balance on time may result in the cancellation of your holiday and the deposit forfeited.  
Taxes and APC on your holiday.
An obligatory resort tax of £25 per adult or persons 18 and over. If you are flying with us then a £2.50 APC (ATOL Protection Charge) will be added to your invoice for payment in the UK.
Damage Deposit.
On arrival at one of our chalets, you will be required to pay a damage deposit of 1000€. We will require a credit card for pre-authorisation. You will not be debited but will require the funds capacity for authorisation.  There will be no charge as long as no damage occurs during your stay. If there is damage to the property, then you will be debited the amount we have been charged or paid for the repairs and an invoice will be produced and emailed to you.
Holiday discounts.
Any advertised short-term discounts will not apply when a full price holiday is already discounted. Discounted holidays are made for varying commercial reasons and are made at the absolute discretion of Alpine Action. Discounts are not retrospective and cannot apply to holidays already booked. We reserve the right to sell holidays at a discount, and you may therefore share accommodation with guests who have paid a lower price. You will not be entitled to any refund or difference in cost in any circumstances if a holiday you purchased is subsequently discounted within the same season or at short notice.

  
3. YOUR CONTRACT
  
A binding contract between us comes into existence when we issue our confirmation invoice to the party leader. No confirmation invoice will be sent to you unless all necessary deposits have been paid.
  
We both agree that English law (and no other) will apply to your contract and any dispute, claim or other matter of any description which arises between us (“claim”) except as set out below.
  
We both also agree that any claim (and whether or not involving any personal injury) must be dealt with by the courts of England and Wales only unless, in the case of court proceedings, you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland. In this case, proceedings must either be brought in the courts of your home country or those of England and Wales. If proceedings are brought in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may choose to have your contract and claim governed by the law of Scotland/Northern Ireland as applicable (but if you do not so choose, English law will apply). 
  
4. INSURANCE
  
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) stipulates to U.K. Tour Operators that they are obliged to inform clients that when paying a non-refundable deposit for holiday they will need to have adequate holiday insurance. It is a condition of your holiday contract that you have adequate insurance cover, and it is your responsibility to ensure that you and all the persons named on the booking have adequate and specialist insurance to cover all the holiday. Such insurance should at the least provide the following protection: (a) Loss of your deposit and subsequent payments against unexpected cancellation charges before taking your trip. b) Provide any medical expenses arising abroad, loss of luggage etc. and for personal liability claims.
 
We acknowledge the need to acquire the appropriate insurance at the time of booking and when the deposit payment is made. No liability will be accepted by Alpine Action for any client booking or travelling without adequate insurance.

Note: Certain holidays may not be changeable after a reservation has been made, and any alteration request could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements. You can transfer your booking to another person, who satisfies all the conditions that apply to this booking, by giving us notice in writing via email to sales@alpineaction.co.uk as soon as possible and no later than 7 days before departure.

If we cancel your booking
We reserve the right to cancel or change your booking. We will not cancel less than 10 weeks before your departure date, except for unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances, or failure by you to pay the final balance. Unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances mean a situation beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. If your holiday is cancelled you can either have a refund of all monies paid or accept an alternative holiday of comparable standard from us if we offer one.  

Change of accommodation: Alpine Action reserves the right to change your accommodation where chalet occupancy levels dictate. Whilst every endeavour will be made to avoid this change notification will be given to the client and any financial readjustment applied. Notification will be given to you as soon as we are aware of any such change.

Ski Passes: You can prebook your ski passes, it is possible to cancel these, but it will be dependent on the departure date and when you request to cancel. There will be a minimum 10€ admin fee.
 
6. BEHAVIOUR AND DAMAGE
 
Client responsibility for accommodation/damage
You agree on your behalf and on behalf of all persons named in your booking that:
Every such person will at all times and for all purposes relevant to your holiday arrangements act with reasonable care and refrain from all forms of anti-social behaviour.  You will compensate or reimburse Alpine Action against all claims, liabilities, loss, damage, expense, interest and costs whether direct or indirect that Alpine Action may suffer or incur as a result of entering into a holiday contract with you or as a result of you occupying the holiday accommodation, including (but not limited to) any damage to the accommodation, its fixtures & fittings & contents.
Damage Deposit
On arrival at one of our chalets, you will be required to pay a damage deposit of 1000€. We will require a credit card for pre-authorisation. You will not be debited but will require the funds capacity for authorisation.  There will be no charge as long as no damage occurs during your stay. If there is damage to the property, then you will be debited the amount we have been charged or paid for the repairs and an invoice will be produced and emailed to you.
  
You are responsible for the behaviour of all children under the age of 18 named on your booking form. If we believe that anyone (including children) in your party causes danger, upset or distress to any third party or damage to any property, we are entitled, without prior notice, to terminate the holiday booking. In this situation, the person(s) concerned will be required to cease all use of the holiday services including leaving any accommodation. We will have no further responsibility towards such person(s) including any return travel arrangements. No refunds will be made, and we will not pay any expenses, costs or losses incurred as a result of the termination.
  
Alpine Action, the owners and managers of the accommodation in which you stay have the right to enter any holiday accommodation at such times and for such purposes (including but not limited to inspection, cleaning & repairs) as may be reasonable in the circumstances. You agree that any accommodation provided to this contract is only for the use and enjoyment of the persons named on the confirmation invoice. You are not at liberty to invite any other persons to join your group in the accommodation.
  
7. BOOKING THROUGH AN AGENT  

Alpine Action uses several reputable registered specialist ski agents who will act on the client’s behalf to book a holiday with Alpine Action. If you book through a Travel Agent they will provide us with your full name, email address and mobile number and act to pass information from you to us and vice versa. They will also receive all payments from you for the holiday. Any advice given to you from your Travel Agent which is not based on advice given to them by Alpine Action is their responsibility. In these circumstances, we do not accept liability if incorrect advice is given to you by your Travel Agent. Although Alpine Action monitors agent information and representation of our holidays any subsequent misrepresentation of the holidays, from the said agent, is the responsibility of the agent and should be taken up with that agent directly by the client.
  
8. TRAVEL, PARKING, ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE
 
Flights
We can offer an ATOL flights and transfers package holiday. All flights and transfers added to your holiday will incur an additional deposit of £100 pp (excludes infants) with your chalet deposit. These deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable in the event you or members of your party cancel the holiday. A £2.50 pp ATOL Protection charge will be added for each person flying. 
Self-Driving
Driving out to the resort often has the benefit of an extra day or two skiing as well as increased flexibility over luggage and travel times. The resort is approximately 600 miles drive from Calais, or an 8 to 9-hour drive with rest stops on the motorway on the French side. We can store luggage early on a Sunday, you will not be able to access the chalet until after 16:00 hours when your rooms will be ready. The following Sunday, we will again store your luggage and if possible arrange a changing area only when you return from skiing and your prior departure. You will not be able to use the chalet facilities or communal areas during this time as they will then be occupied by that week’s clients.
Parking at the Chalets
Although there may be parking at or close to the chalet, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to park your car there. Snowfalls can restrict access, and we cannot always clear it. There is a PDF of possible parking in Meribel & La Tania, under the documents of your MMB area. Please note some parking will need to be paid for; Alpine Action does not accept any claims for parking fines you may incur.
Arrival & departure
All guests are advised to vacate by 09:30 on the day of departure and that rooms will not be ready until 16:00 on the day of arrival. These times will be strict this season due to the deep cleaning between clients which is required.

Private Transfers
Alpine Action are happy to book a transfer for your group. Please note though It is often neglected in the excitement of booking a ski holiday that the mountains can be a hostile environment in the winter and that road closures and traffic delays sometimes do happen, it is always worth double checking that your travel insurance will cover you in the unlikely event that you miss your return flight through circumstances beyond anyone’s control.

Foreign Office Advice
The UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office publishes regularly updated travel information which is relevant to your holiday on its website www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice and https://travelaware.campaign.gov.uk which you are strongly recommended to consult before booking as well as close to and in good time before departure. Up to date, UK border control measures are available at www.gov.uk/uk-border-control.
Force Majeure
Alpine Action will not be liable for problems or delays caused by strikes, riots, political unrest, hostilities, war terrorist activity, industrial disputes, pandemics, fire, flood, tornadoes, hurricanes, transportation problems, airport closures, weather conditions or any other event beyond our immediate control. We suggest that you take out adequate travel insurance to cover such eventualities. We cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by "force majeure". In these booking conditions, "force majeure" means any event, which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire, and similar events outside our control.
 
9. SKI PASSES, SKI HIRE & LESSONS

Pre-bookable passes
We can provide the lowest possible price on your lift pass if purchased through Alpine Action. You can reserve them via our system when you book your holiday, they will be delivered to you on arrival at your chalet. You pay for the ski pass on arrival at the resort, € cash, credit or debit card are all accepted. Once you make a reservation for your ski passes in your booking we will email you confirmation. As soon as your confirmation is received, you should check the details carefully.  You can make changes to the ski pass reservation up to 2 days before your departure.
Ski hire
You will need to book ski hire direct with the shop, we have recommendations, however, you are free to choose. We recommend pre-booking with our preferred shops to get a booking discount.
Ski Lessons
You will need to book your lessons directly with the ski schools. We highly recommend pre-booking to avoid disappointment on arrival at the resort.

10. CHALETS, FACILITIES AND SERVICES

Chalet facilities
Hot tubs, saunas, Freeview TV, WIFI connections and all audio systems are all free services and all have breakdown contracts. In the event of their failure, all efforts will be made to ensure the continuous provision of these services. However, no downtime of the above will constitute any entitlement to a refund if circumstances are outside our contract means or ability.
Cuisine & Special Diet requests
We have set menus, these are varied and made from local fresh produce for 5 nights of the week. We are happy to assist with your special dietary requirements. The vegetarian option is available on our normal chalet menu and there is no charge for this. Other special diets can generally be catered for gluten-free, dairy-free, wheat-free, coeliac, and other specific food allergies. There are charges, please see our website for details. Any dietary requirements must be advised to us at the time of booking, failure to do so will result in a short notice fee and be charged to the resort. A specific meal may not be available on the first night with late notice. Please note our chalet hosts are not professional chefs. Our hosts can't take notes of people’s food likes and dislikes, however, you can choose what you chose to eat from our menu.
Outdoor hot-tubs
Where we have hot tubs our staff have been trained in their maintenance and regular checks will be made for your safety. All clients MUST shower before using the hot tub. Children under 10 are not permitted to use the hot tub. Children over 10 should be supervised at all times in the hot tub. No glass may be taken into the vicinity of the hot tub. To avoid the danger of drowning or injury do not use the hot tub when intoxicated. Persons with infectious diseases may not use the hot tub, and pregnant women should consult a doctor before use. A maximum of 20 minutes of immersion in the hot tub is advised as any longer may cause health problems. The hot tub is refilled on a Sunday and therefore not available during this time. Our Resort Management reserves the right to close the hot tub should there be any misuse of the facility, or should the need to service arise. All guests use the hot tub at their own risk. It may be that all hot tubs are closed at any point due to the Covid Crisis.
Sauna
Please bring suitable swimwear for using the sauna. You must read the instructions next to the sauna before use. Children and pregnant women are forbidden to use the sauna.

Cleaning
The chalet has a deep clean on a transfer day when all the beds are freshly made for you. We provide a hand and bath towel, with a mid-week change. The living and communal areas are cleaned daily. We recommend that you bring slippers or some type of indoor shoes for our chalets, we operate a “no shoes” policy in the interests of keeping our chalets cleaner and more comfortable.
Free Wifi
All our chalets offer free WIFI. This is ADSL broadband but not fibre optic. The Internet is the best on offer in this area of France. It can be slow when every device in the chalet is connected.
Hot Water
Please be advised that the hot water in the chalets, may differ from what you are used to at home. It is recommended to test to achieve your desired temperature.  We advise parents to supervise young children. Please be considerate to others within the chalet when running big baths, the water needs to go around everyone. We ask that guests stagger their bath or shower times and consider other guests in the chalet.
Toilets
To avoid blocking the toilets please use the bins provided for sanitary or other items. It can be difficult to unblock toilet systems in Alpine Chalets during the winter, so your help would be greatly appreciated.
Children
No matter how much care is taken ski chalets are not childproof. We will not be held responsible for any accidents occurring within the chalets, it is the parents' responsibility to ensure their children are supervised at all times.
Cots, High Chairs & stairgates
Cots with a mattress with some bedding, as well as high chairs will be supplied when you have booked your infant. The inclusion of a cot may restrict room space and some rooms may not be large enough to contain a cot. We do have stair gates but don’t always fit the stairs or doors.
Smoking policy
Alpine Action has a strict no-smoking policy On ALL of their premises and vehicles. The strict no-smoking policy also includes the use of E-Cigarettes. A guest who breaches this policy will be liable to pay a fine of €100 to pay for additional deep-cleaning required and will be held liable for any other consequential damages sought against Alpine Action by its other guests and/or the property owners. Specific smoking areas outside the premises will be advised to clients by our resort staff.
Chalet Security
Please leave valuables at home. When returning or leaving the chalet each day, please ensure that windows, balcony doors, and all external doors are securely shut/locked behind you. Chalet break-ins are rare however please help us to help you avoid this during your stay. Alpine Action accepts no responsibility for items lost or stolen from the chalet, therefore valuables should not be left in the chalet during the day. None of our bedroom doors in any of our chalets are lockable or have individual keys, this is common in Chalets, please be aware this is included on mixed bookings.
Chalet distances
Distances shown and quoted on the website, are a guide only and in practice may vary. This has been estimated according to the fitness and speed at which people walk. This can all vary again with snow, ice, and footwear. Please ask your chalet hosts or manager for any shortcuts to the town or slopes.
