  • The cancellation charges are as follows:
  • More than 12 weeks – 25% of total
  • Less than 12 weeks – 85% of total

If any part of your holiday is not provided as promised, it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim against us. We accept responsibility for the acts/omissions of our employees or agents, suppliers and subcontractors where they were, at the time, acting in the course of their employment or carrying out work that we had asked them to do under a contract of agency or supply with Northstar Chalets. In all cases (except where personal injury, death, loss and/or damage to luggage or personal possessions results) our liability is limited to the relevant holiday price of the person(s) affected. It is a condition of this acceptance of liability that you notify us of any claim in writing within 28 days of your return from your holiday.

12.2 Northstar Chalets will not be responsible or pay you compensation for any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense, cost or other claim of any description if it results from:

  • the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected;

  • unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our or our supplier(s) control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised;
  • an event which either Northstar Chalets or our supplier(s) could not, even with all due care, have foreseen or forestalled.

12.3 Clients must act with care at all times since the temperature and weather conditions do not always guarantee that ice and snow can instantly be removed from all areas around the chalets – we accept no liability for accidents/injuries occurring under such circumstances.

12.4 The risk of skiing holidays being adversely affected by weather conditions has to be accepted. Northstar Chalets shall not be liable for any loss, delay or costs connected with, or arising out of, adverse weather conditions, including blocked roads, missed flights and airline delays.

If you fail to advise us of an extreme food allergy at the point of booking or if you proceed with your booking in circumstances where we have explained to you the risks that might be present, we will have no liability to you in the event of an incident.

14.4 We reserve the right to charge an additional €75 per person for dietary requests. This allows us to cover the cost of extra staff time and produce needed.
