Cancellation terms
To safeguard against last-minute cancellations and potential loss of payment/deposits resulting from injury or travel disruption, we highly recommend obtaining travel insurance.

Cancellation and Refund Policy: Cancellations made 15 days or less prior to commencement will not be eligible for a refund. For cancellations made within 30 days prior to commencement, we reserve the right to retain 75% of the full fee. Cancellations within 60 days prior to commencement may result in the retention of 50% of the full fee. COVID-19 Related Cancellations: Considering the uncertainties related to COVID-19, we strongly advise purchasing travel insurance that covers potential disruptions to your travels or mountain trip. If you need to cancel due to a border closure or lockdown event, a refund will be provided, with a 10% administration fee per person deducted. Alternatively, upon request, we can hold your payments as a deposit for up to 12 months for a future visit, with the 10% administration fee still applicable. No refund will be due after 12 months.
