How does the payment for my stay work?At the time of booking, 25% of the costs related to your stay will be charged. One week before your arrival in the chalet, the remaining 75% will be deducted automatically. In addition, a $500 deposit will be pre-authorized at the same time. Note that this amount is a pre-authorization; the money will therefore only be blocked and will not come out of your account. Once your stay is over and the inspection completed, the amount will be released.

These allow you to take possession of the chalet at 12 p.m. (noon) and leave at 5 p.m. Please note that these options are dependent on the availability of the chalet. Thus, in the event that a group arrives on the day of your departure, the late departure option would no longer be possible.
