If your trip has to be cancelled last minute due to government directives, a quarantine in place in the UK or France at the time of travel, border closures, FCO Advice, local authority closures that affect skiing, hotel accommodation, the ski lift system or access to Megeve due to Covid-19, you will be offered the opportunity to change your dates free of charge, receive a credit for a future trip or receive a full refund.

Bookings can be accepted by telephone or e-mail. At the time of booking you will receive booking confirmation with login details and once logged onto the system you must agree to our ‘Terms & Conditions’. A deposit of 30% of the accommodation cost is required within 5 days of making the booking. Our contract with you will take effect once we receive your deposit. Your remaining balance is due 28 days prior to the departure date or immediately should the booking be made within 28 days of departure. If Ski Royale does not receive the balance as indicated they reserve the right to cancel the booking without further reference to the customer and any deposit paid shall be forfeited.

If you wish to make alterations to your booking after the contract is formed, we will do our best to arrange this. Please note that any changes to your flight departure dates already booked by yourselves may incur hefty costs with the airline.
4. Cancellation of a holiday by the Client
You, or any member of your party may cancel your holiday at any time providing that the cancellation is made by the person who made the booking and is communicated to us in writing.
Cancellation charges will be made as follows:
