Important Information

• Private Accommodation: Please note, Faraya Chalet is privately managed, and therefore does not offer hotel-style services like on-site housekeeping or replenishments of items such as pillows, blankets, or TVs. If you require these services, we recommend booking a hotel instead.

• Check-In Time: Check-in is after 4pm, and unfortunately, we cannot accommodate early arrivals. If this is unsuitable, we kindly ask you to consider alternative accommodation.

• Travel Insurance: We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance, even for domestic holidays. Travel insurance can cover a range of issues, including trip cancellations, lost luggage, medical expenses, and unforeseen disruptions like COVID-19 amendments. It`s a valuable way to protect yourself during your adventures.

Come and experience the relaxed comfort of Faraya Chalet, where alpine adventure meets home-style ease.
