Contract A contract exists between SARL Bartavelle and the Client(s) once a 25% non-refundable deposit of the total package cost (or full payment if less than 8 weeks before the start of the holiday) has been received and these terms and conditions have been agreed to via online booking or booking form. The Party Leader guarantees payment in full of the total cost on behalf of and with the consent of all persons included in the booking.

Chalet Hold The chalet and catered package can be placed on hold for up to 48 hours. At the end of 48 hours, the deposit (or full payment if less than 8 weeks before arrival) must be paid, or the hold will automatically be released. Holds may be extended at SARL Bartavelle’s discretion.

Payment

  • A 25% booking deposit is due at the time of booking (or full payment if booking within 8 weeks of arrival).
  • Full balance payment must be made at least 8 weeks prior to arrival.
  • If the balance is not paid by the due date, SARL Bartavelle reserves the right to cancel your holiday, and the deposit will remain non-refundable.

Prices Unless otherwise agreed, the accommodation is rented on an exclusive basis. The prices are for the rental of the chalet on a catered basis as described in your quote or on the website. Additional costs may apply if guest numbers increase or additional services are requested.

Arrival and Departure Times The chalet will be available after 4:00 PM on the day of arrival. All requests for early check-in or late departure must be received no later than 3 weeks before the start of the holiday; after this time, changes cannot be accommodated. The chalet must be vacated by 10:00 AM on the day of departure.

Insurance It is a strict condition of booking that all clients must have comprehensive travel insurance covering cancellation, curtailment, medical expenses, winter sports, public liability, and third-party cover. SARL Bartavelle will not be responsible for meeting any costs that such insurance would cover. We reserve the right to request proof of cover or cancel the booking without refund if adequate insurance is not provided.

  • Cancellation Refund Commitment: If you cancel, SARL Bartavelle will attempt to rebook the chalet week. If successfully resold at full price, a refund of monies paid will be issued. If resold at a discount, any refund will be minus the applied discount and administrative costs.
  • By SARL Bartavelle: We reserve the right to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances or events beyond our control (e.g., force majeure, illness, accidents). In such cases, monies paid will be refunded in full, with no further liability accepted.

Food Safety, Allergies, and Dietary Requirements All reasonable steps are taken to prepare and serve food safely. The Client is responsible for notifying SARL Bartavelle of all final guest numbers, allergies, dietary requirements, or medical food concerns no later than 3 weeks prior to arrival. While every care is taken, we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment. No refunds or credits will be given in respect of meals not taken.

Curtailment If you choose or are forced to cut your holiday short, no refunds will be given for unused accommodation or catering services, nor will SARL Bartavelle be liable for associated travel costs. Claims should be directed to your travel insurer.
