IMPORTANT INFORMATION
**1/ Deposit of €300 to be secured BEFORE your arrival**
A deposit of €300 must be secured by credit card before your arrival. The operation is carried out via the secure online deposit service Swikly.
The procedure is fast and simple: you will receive an email with a link to follow, 7 days before your arrival.
The amount of €300 is not debited from your card, nor even blocked. This is a simple verification that you have this amount in your bank account. You are also better protected: Swikly manages your deposit and any withdrawal, if it should take place, must be justified on our part with photos, invoices, etc. Swikly is therefore much preferable to a deposit deposited in cash or even taken on a credit card, where the host has complete power over your money.
For these undeniable advantages, Swikly asks for a €6.78 service fee, which is the responsibility of our guests. We also pay a service fee on our side.
**2/ Inventory of entry and exit**
To facilitate your arrival and departure, the entry and exit inventory is done by you, using text and photos. The procedure is simple and easy to use.
**3/ Parking**
There is no specific parking at the residence but many free spaces in the immediate vicinity. There is also paid covered parking in the center of the resort.
**4/ No breakfast**
RisoulSki rents apartments. This is not a hotel.

We can provide you with a travel cot and a baby chair, if you request them. Please let us know as soon as possible as we have limited stock.
**6/ Pets allowed**
Pets are allowed at no extra charge at RisoulSki. They nevertheless remain under the responsibility of their master.
**7/ Large groups**
It is possible to twin this apartment with other apartments in the same residence, do not hesitate to contact RisoulSki!
