BOOKING AND CANCELLATION CONDITIONS WITH ECO PLEIN AIR:
Climate change is real. The weather has been changeable and difficult for several years. If conditions are extreme: rain and no snow, we will maintain the activity and offer outdoor sports alternatives. Our organizations cannot afford to reimburse 100% of the total cost of the weekend and chalet rentals. By being open to adapting to a multi-sport weekend in the event of extreme weather (winter hiking, walking with crampons - the area is full of incredible itineraries), you'll enjoy a memorable all-inclusive stay.
