The User declares that he/she has read these GTUs.


In any event, any use of the Website by the User implies unreserved acceptance of the GTUs in force. The User may be required to expressly accept them by ticking the box provided for this purpose when completing the online ordering procedure.


The GTC can be consulted and printed at any time via the direct link on the home page of the Website. They shall prevail, if necessary, over any other version or any other contradictory document.


As the GTUs may be subject to subsequent modifications, the version applicable to the User is the one in force on the Website on the date the order is placed. In the event of the User browsing the English language version of the Website, and even in the presence of general terms and conditions of use of the Website in English, the applicable version is always the French version.


Alpe d'Huez Vacances has developed an online platform whose main activity is the aggregation of commercial offers from partners (hereinafter referred to as the "Partners"), allowing the pooling of Alpe d'Huez offers in order to improve the range of services offered to the Users.


The Website presents to the User the commercial offers of the Partners which are, among others


• Booking of ski passes
• Accommodation services
• Rental of equipment
• Booking of ski lessons
• Activities in the resort

The presentation of commercial offers on the Website is generally carried out according to a criterion of availability, price and geolocation. Thus, the list of accommodations, in particular, is presented next to a map of the destination positioning them.


With respect to the offers proposed by the Partners on the Website, Alpe d'Huez Vacances acts only as an independent technical intermediary, provider of an aggregation platform and does not create, sell, resell, supply, control, manage or propose any commercial offers itself.


As such, Alpe d'Huez Vacances shall not be considered as an organiser or retailer of package travel within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2015/2302 of 25 November 2015.


The commercial offers proposed on the Website are specific to each Partner. The Partners are therefore solely responsible for their advertisements and the services offered. When the User places an online order via the Website, he/she directly enters into a contract with the selected Partner(s). 


Alpe d'Huez Vacances is not involved in the contractual relationship between the User and the Partner(s) and is neither a real estate broker nor a travel agency. Therefore, in case of problems, please contact the relevant service provider.

The online ordering procedure is reserved for the User who is at least 18 years old and has the legal capacity to contract.


The User must have the consent of all persons for whom the services are booked through the Website, as well as the authorisation of the parents of all minors taking part.


The User guarantees the truthfulness and accuracy of the information provided.


When ordering online, acceptance of these GTC and the general terms and conditions of sale of the Partners is done by ticking the box provided for this purpose. If this is not done, it will be impossible to continue the order.

The User may order online, from the Website, one or more commercial offers proposed by the Partners.


The ordering procedure comprises - at least - the following steps:



• The User is asked to select the date of their stay;
• Following the User's choice, the Website communicates the different commercial offers available from its Partners: accommodation and/or ski passes and/or ski lessons and/or equipment hire and/or other products or services;
• Depending on his needs, the User can choose between one or more commercial offers. For the purposes of the service, the User will be required to complete a certain amount of information (dates, title, etc.);
• A summary showing all the User's choices and the characteristics of the commercial offer(s) chosen enables the User to check the details of his order online;
• The User may then, subject to acceptance of these GCU and the general terms and conditions of each Partner whose offer has been selected by the User, validate his order;
• The User must then proceed to pay the price. The contract is then validly concluded between the User and the selected Partner or Partners;
• Finally, the User receives an order confirmation email from each of the Partners with whom he has booked a service;
• The selected Partner(s) will be aware of the overall booking in order to facilitate the collection of the different orders.

The prices of the commercial offers are freely fixed by the Partners. The prices are expressed in euros (€).


The rates are subject to change and are enforceable against the Website User as of their publication online. The applicable price is the one in force on the day of the order.

Validation of an order on the Website entails payment of the order, in accordance with the terms and conditions specified by the Partner(s) concerned, online, in particular by bank card (Visa MasterCard, E-carte bleue).

The User guarantees that the means of payment used is valid and that it is not the result of a fraudulent operation.


Once the payment has been made, the order can no longer be modified.


Online payment is made via a payment service provider, the company S- MONEY, an electronic money institution; approved in France and controlled by the ACPR (Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution), a subsidiary of the BPCE group. For more information see: www.s-money.fr
