Bookings made before 10th August 2021 and with an arrival date up to and including 30th September 2021

If a guest is unable to travel due to travel restriction or border closures, Mountain Base will provide a credit note for the value paid to be used at the same property at a future date. 
 
Consequently, if you have a booking between these dates, your options are:
 
1) Maintain your current booking - the balance will be due three weeks prior to arrival. If you are unable to travel due to COVID-19 you will receive a credit note for the total amount paid.
2) Move your booking, you can move to the following year for the same dates, subject to availability. If your booking was secured at a reduced rate the price will increment to the price advertised in 2022. If you booked prior to discounts applied in January 2021 the price will remain the same.
3) Receive a credit note for the amount paid to be used at the same property for a booking in the future.

Delayed balance payments for all bookings up to 30th April 2022

To help our guests at this difficult time, for bookings with an arrival date up to 30th April 2022 you can secure your stay with just a deposit. We will then remind guests to pay their balance 5 weeks prior to arrival and to pay within 7 days.
