Dear visitors,
We, at Skiers Lodge La Grave like to share our moral and social obligation to issue a statement and implement measures regarding the intense situation we’re all experiencing due to COVID-19. The seriousness behind it is not a secret to anyone. All of us, including our customers, are most likely being affected by what’s happening in some capacity. Some more than others, and we certainly hope you are in the less affected group of people.
2020/2021 has been a challenging year for most people around the world, adjusting to pandemic protocols and travel restrictions, have varied from place to place.
During winter 2021 all the ski lifts in France where closed and made it not possible to run our hotel and concept! We understand that, as much as you may want to come out and ride our tour with us 2022, it’s difficult to know what the future will bring. Because of that, we’ve revised our booking and cancelation policies and offer a RISK FREE Pre-Season Sign-Up until mid – December 2021!
For accommodation at Hotel des Alpes – Skiers Lodge we will not open earlier than 19th of January 2022 due to planning and implement measures regarding the hotel. We will offer our popular ski packages (www.skierslodge.com) (www.skierslodgeguideservice.com)
We require vaccination passport to enter the Hotel des Alpes – Skiers Lodge – Restaurant -Bar
(A proof of a vaccination passport will remain until July 2022 in France)
Proof of Vaccination Passport: It will only be valid if it proves that you are fully vaccinated, i.e.: Seven days after the second shot for two-shot vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca (Vaxevria and Covishield)); Four weeks after the shot for one-shot vaccines (Johnson & Johnson); Seven days after the shot for vaccines administered to people who have already had COVID-19 (only one dose is necessary). Only vaccines authorized by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) (Pfizer (Comirnaty), Moderna, AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria), Johnson & Johnson (Janssen)), or AstraZeneca (Covishield) will be accepted.
The European Union has made available its COVID-19 passport for all EU citizens and residents, as well as for specific categories of travelers from third countries.
If you live in England, France will accept the NHS COVID Pass or your NHS letter to demonstrate your COVID-19 vaccination status.
We recommend a lower guide ratio (guest per guide) within the group, with 1 guide to max 4 skiers ratio. Having smaller groups will make it easier for the guide to manage decision taking and easier to fill a group of individual skier’s! Social distance when eating at local mountain restaurants since the numbers of capacity of tables and chairs is reduced due to regulations. Also it is more practical when renting a car for 4 person sharing from airports.
However, if a group of 5 to 6 friends (couples) are traveling together the standard classic week will run as normal with one guide to 5/max 6 skiers ratio! These groups need to be formed in advance by the guests who wish to book!
We are accepting all pre-season booking for 2022 without a deposit until mid December. We will hold your spot until you receive an email from us with a payment method by ”SYSTEM PAY” credit card! This allows you to start planning early for the coming winter, without an initial financial commitment.
The balance of the package price is due for payment 6 weeks before the start date of your holiday
Late bookings: if you are booking less than 6 weeks before you attend to come, we will do our best to fit you in. Full payment is then due on booking
Any cancellation must be made in writing and is subject to the following penalties:
– – 6 weeks before holiday commences: loss of deposit
4 – 6 weeks before holiday commences: 50% of quoted booking price
2 – 4 weeks before holiday commences: 75% of quoted booking price
0 – 2 weeks before holiday commences: 100% of quoted booking price
At 6 weeks before the trip, 100% deposit is required. This allows you to delay your initial deposit risk until closer to the trip date.
Once made, your deposit with us will be non refundable. For that reason, we highly recommend that you purchase ”Cancel For Any Reason” trip cancellation insurance from an insurance company. Most cases, this type of insurance must be purchased between 10 and 20 days from the time your first payment for the trip is made.
We will provide you with a free rescheduling or voucher with no limit in time for those cases. We appreciate your patience and understanding. This is a hassle for everyone involved, but we believe that we’re all going to get through this.
