How do I pay, and when?

We accept debit/credit cards, cheques or direct bank transfers. Your booking is secured by a 30% deposit of accommodation costs. Your holiday balance is payable 8 weeks prior to departure.

Should I get ski insurance?

Yes Definitely. We strongly recommend to all our guests that they have comprehensive winter sports travel insurance. This is also a requirement of our booking terms and conditions. The cover given on most credit cards is usually not good enough. In addition to this cover we recommend you add the ‘Carte Neige’ insurance on to your Vaujany ski pass, it’s about £2 per day and ensures your evacuation off the mountain. In the event of an accident, you are transported from the slopes to the hospital and all charges are taken care of without additional cost or bureaucracy.
