We are happy to cater for any special dietary requirements (as far as is possible), as long as we are made aware of them at least 7 days before the start of the holiday. Please contact us with any requests.

All guests, including children, usually eat together on the evening of arrival. On all other evenings we provide a simpler children’s tea at 6 pm for those under 14.

For exclusive chalet bookings the group leader may request that the children eat with the group.
