13. 2. We accept responsibility for death, injury or illness caused by negligent acts and /or omissions of our employees and suppliers.

The information and prices shown in our brochure/web may have changed by the time you come to book your accommodation. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the brochure and prices at the time of printing/production regrettably errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your accommodation (including the price) at the time of booking.

All of our Hot-tubs, saunas and WIFI connections are covered by contracts. However in the event of their failure all efforts will be made to ensure continuous provision of these services. However no down-time of any of the above will constitute any refunds if circumstances are outside our contract means or ability. In addition the speed of the WiFi connections in the Alps is very poor compared to the UK and so it is unlikely that you will be able to all stream or download films or large documents etc. If WiFi is important to you we strongly suggest that you have an alternative connection e.g. a 4G connection as we cannot guarantee the speed or availability of our connections.
20. Jurisdiction
These conditions and any contract to which they apply are governed in all respects by English Law.

La Plagne is absolute heaven for intermediate skiers and families alike. With its glacier, the ski area is a paradise with a huge number of blue and red runs and super off-piste options. The single larges ski area in the world, it links with Les Arcs meaning the options available are vast.
La Plagne itself consists of 11 separate villages, some modern, some wonderfully traditional however they all offer superb access to this incredible area at an affordable price.
