Extras:  There are a selection of Extras that can be pre-booked through us or online at Manage Your Booking.  These are a great way to enhance your experience with us even further and include upgraded wines, labelled champagne, bottled water, massages, flower delivery, additional towel changes etc.

Short-stays & Ad-hoc bookings:  where a shorter than 7 day holiday is booked, guests must be aware that the chalet staff day off is on either a Wednesday or Thursday depending on which resort they are staying in.  Please note therefore that if the short-stay covers either of these days, it is understood that you will not be catered for on that particular day.

Hairdryers:  We supply 1 hairdryer per property for guest use.  As these are limited, we recommend that you bring your own if required regularly.

Menu Planning: A lot of time and energy has been invested into puting together the extremely popular Powder White Menu Plan which is based on previous guest feedback over the years.  This plan is aimed to be good dinner party style cooking, it is not of a restaurant/hotel form and may include more straight-forward but hugely popular dishes such as lasagne.  We generally do not employ qualified chefs, our staff are employed for their capabilities in home cooking and for having the right approach to hosting a chalet.  Whilst we will do what we can to accommodate special/necessary dietary requirements, we hope that you can appreciate we cannot change our menu plan for individual chalet bookings.  Some requested produce is often hard to source locally and can often be significantly more expensive in the mountains.

Product Replacements/Swaps:  Our extremely competive pricing is based on packaging a fully catered option together taking into account local produce costs and advance purchasing/delivery costs. In order to make these prices as appealing and fair as possible, and in trying to provide our geusts with as much value as possible, we are unfortunately unable to remove or replace elements of the package sold as it would make the viability of the price paid uneconomical.  We ask you to please accept our apologies for this and thank  you for your understanding. 

Administration changes are charged at £30 per change.  These apply to some name changes, alterations to services or travel booked on your behalf (including but not limited to ski passes, ski hire, ski school, local tourist attractions, dateor property swaps, flight seats, train seats or ferry crossings).  NB additional charges may also apply if Powder White is charged by the supplier and these are to be paid by you, the Client.  

Restaurant Reservations - we recommend that these are made personally and we are happy to supply contact details of recommended restaurants.  Should you wish us to book a restaurant on your behalf a £10 non refundable administration fee will be applied and booked in your name.  Should the reservation be cancelled, an additional charge may also be made by the restaurant which will be passed to you, the Client. 

When you have decided which week is the best option, call us for prices and an availability check.  For your information, www.powderwhite.com is kept absolutely up to date so the latest availability will be as shown on the site.    On confirmation of your booking, we will require acceptance from the party leader and a non-refundable deposit of 30% of full balance. This will ensure the chalet or hotel room is held for you until 12 weeks before departure at which point the balance of the holiday is payable.
