PURCHASE

The passes are dated, and the days are consecutive (except for the 10-day non-consecutive card).

Any unused day during the validity period of the pass cannot be postponed or refunded.

Here’s how to proceed:

  1. First, purchase your individual pass, family pass, or 10-consecutive-days Tribe pass online or at the sales points.
  2. On your last day of skiing and after your final run, visit one of our sales points with all your magnetic supports and request to add the desired number of additional days (between 1 and 5 maximum).

Why do passes for children under 5 and seniors over 72 require a 48-hour wait?

Ski insurance is a specific product. While it’s not mandatory, it is strongly recommended. In the event of an accident on the slopes, costs for search/rescue and medical repatriation are chargeable.

You can either purchase personal insurance or the insurance sold by our company. It is always offered to you when purchasing online or in-store.

  • For daily and short-term passes, choose Assur’Glisse: €3.50 per day per person.
  • For season or annual passes, we offer the Carte Neige at €80 per year per person.

The Court of Auditors strictly prohibits granting ski passes at preferential rates, under penalty of sanctions. Assigning ski passes at preferential rates to permanent or secondary residents is illegal, as it violates the principle of equality among users of ski lift services.

SATA Group offers season passes at progressive preferential rates depending on different date thresholds.

There is no age restriction for going to the mountains.
However, using a ski lift involves a rapid change in altitude.

In general, it is not recommended to take a cable car with a newborn or a young child, as rapid altitude changes can cause ear discomfort or damage.

Snowscoot: Equipment with two independent skis, used in a standing position (Biboard, Insane Toys, Bike Board Snow, Blackmountain, Scoot’Danse, EVO-Snow, R2S, Wyshape, SM, R Pure) with no leash required.

List of authorized lifts 

As soon as ski lifts and slopes are open, it means that all safety conditions are met for users.
However, certain weather conditions (fog, wind, rain, etc.) may make skiing more difficult. It is therefore advisable to adapt your practice accordingly, for example by reducing your speed or choosing slopes that match your abilities.

 

Natural elements are part of a mountain experience. Snow, wind, or temperature changes do not prevent skiing. Therefore, no refund, exchange, or postponement of transportation tickets will be granted.

Only a complete and consecutive stoppage of ski lifts for more than half a day (more than 4 hours) may result in compensation for the inconvenience caused to the user.
You can find the compensation conditions in our Terms and Conditions: Article 6, Paragraph C.
In case of a storm, please visit the ski lift sales points. Sales hosts and hostesses will keep you informed about weather forecasts or the implementation of specific arrangements.
