Refunds, No Snow and others
CHILEANSKI.COM does not make refunds of any kind in the case of early departure, or check out before the date of your original reservation.
If the case is an arrival after the check in date of the reservation, no refunds will be made for services that were not used, nor will the stay be carried over to the following days. The only exception to this is in the case of road closure.
In case of lack of snow, the ski resorts have modern snowmaking technology. However, if this is not enough, Valle Nevado will reimburse 100% of the paid reservations corresponding to that date. This is not the case of the ski centers El Colorado, La Parva and Nevados de Chillán where the ski center is independent of the hotel stay.
The condition of the access road to the Andes Mountains is maintained by the Chilean Ministry of Public Works, therefore the ski resorts are not responsible for its condition
Premature departures
Premature departures are considered when the guest leaves the hotel before the date stipulated in the original reservation. In such a case, Chileanski.com will not reimburse the guest for the value for services not used due to early check-out.
Late Arrivals
When a guest arrives at the hotel one or more days after the date of their reservation, the hotel will not reimburse the guest for unused services. Likewise, we will not extend your stay at the hotel beyond the original departure date.
No-Snow Policy for Valle Nevado:
Valle Nevado enjoys a modern snowmaking system; however, if due to a shortage of snow, all of its lifts are closed on a specific date during the season, Valle Nevado will refund 100% of the amount paid for each reservation corresponding to that date.
Alternatively, payments may be credited for reservations on other days of the same season, taking into account possible price differences that may exist between the dates in question.
Closed Road Policies
The Chilean Ministry of Public Works maintains the access road to the Andes Mountains, and is therefore responsible for keeping it clean and clear, in the event of a snowstorm.
