BOOKING AND PAYMENT
It is the guests’ responsibility to check that the arrival and departure date, as well as everything else that is important for the booking, is correct. An order is binding as soon as an order number is assigned. If the guest does not pay on time, this is considered a cancellation, and then the cancellation policy applies. We recommend all our guests to print/bring the confirmation to show on arrival.
CANCELLATION AND CHANGES
We advise all our customers to have a good insurance prior to travel, in case of illness, loss or damage to travel items, accidents, liability etc. No compensation or refund is given in case of any unexpected malfunction, such as bad weather, power failure, machine failure, shutdowns / lifts etc.
Cancellation policy in relation to Covid-19 restrictions for the winter season 2021/2022
A number of measures are implemented to ensure that our guests feel safe during their stay in Geilo. We undertake at all times to follow the advice, rules and recommendations that come from the authorities, NIPH and not least the municipal superior.

We also ask you to familiarize yourself with the rules / recommendations that are set in the ski resort, accommodation and elsewhere where you travel in Geilo to avoid infection.
For all reservations (ski school, lift pass, ski rental) made by persons not living in Norway who are affected by Covid-19 restrictions * and which make it impossible for the guest to travel to Norway, we guarantee cancellation with 100% refund until arrival date. The guest also has the opportunity to move their reservation to a later time at no extra cost.
* If Norway closes its borders
* If the country you are traveling from closes borders or advises against traveling to Norway
* If you have to be quarantined either in Norway or when you return to your home country

If someone falls ill with Covid-19 or another illness before departure or during their stay, the guest is responsible and must contact their insurance company.
