Booking

Please read these booking conditions : Purely Pyrenees booking conditions

On the website :

We can only accept booking online or by telephone, so if you want to book a trip please go to the appropriate page on our website and click on the button «  Book Now ».

Follow the easy steps that are presented to you, and complete the booking request by paying the required deposit paid by debit or credit card. We will ask for a deposit which is 35% of the cost of the holiday. 

If you have been in contact with us about adding extra nights, flights, or other amendments to your trip we will create your online booking request form for you and you will then book online in the same way. 
The deposit and the balance are payable only in Euros. The amount in £ is indicative of the Euros price, but exchange rates do change slightly all the time. Your debit/credit card company might charge you extra for payments in foreign currencies.

There are no charges for last minute bookings, but if you book within 30 days of departure you will need to pay in full at the time of booking, so we recommend you call us to make sure transfers, hotels etc are actually available before you book and pay.

We will send you an automatic acknowledgement, and then will review your booking to make sure it will work for you as you want it to. We will contact you if needs be.

The balance of payment will be due one month before departure, and can be paid by card or bank transfer.

In accordance with the rules of our profession, La Balaguere is insured for Professional Liability (ALLIANZ No. 53.231.046). However, each participant must have an individual civil responsibility insurance as well as an individual multi risk insurance in order to protect themselves in case of incidents or accidents that may occur before or during the walking or the trip. Please note that payment with a credit card generally covers assistance, provided you have used your card to pay for the trip. Downloadable document.
