If we have to cancel due to Covid-19

To give you complete clarity, your three options are laid out below:
1/ To change your destination or departure date to a later date in the season, or to the following season, for no amendment fees [1].
2/ To receive a cash refund of monies paid to Alpine Elements which will be paid back to you within 14 days or as soon as is practicably possible - in line with latest ABTA guidelines.
3/ Accept to receive a refund credit for the full amount of your holiday - all monies paid to Alpine Elements - which will be available for you to use to re book, anytime within 12 months of the original departure date. If you take this option, we will offer you an additional 10% off your future holiday.
