NB: If the above requirements are too severe and do not make it sound like a holiday, we can organize a softer adventure, for minimum 4 people who want to relax and enjoy life while skiing. 
 
Quality: The places of accommodation have been chosen both for their strategic location and for the charm of their mountain atmosphere, however luxury can not be promised. Eskapas reserves the right to alter the programme at any time, in the aim of improving quality or making the best of prevailing conditions. 
 
INSURANCE
MOUNTAIN RESCUE INSURANCE is mandatory. Check your coverage for accidents, repatriation and luggage. 
CANCELLATION INSURANCE is optional, and may be contracted only privately.  
 
Responsability
In booking with Eskapas, each participant declares him/herself fully aware of the inherent risks in the practice of all mountaineering activities. A guide should not be considered as a comprehensive insurance policy. We are dealing with something more than just sports, as we are confronted with a natural environment, which we may know profoundly, but can never control. The role of a guide or instructor is to reduce risks to a minimum. Therefore, any participant who does not respect the guide’s instructions, becomes entirely responsible for any accident he may subsequently cause or be involved in and will not be able to claim against the Eskapas guides or organizers. 
 
Generally, Eskapas cannot be held responsible for accidents which may occur during the trip, such as personal injury, loss of belongings, etc… unless professional failing can be proved. For all legal action, whatever the nationality of the participant or the place concerned, only Turkish courts can deal with legal cases. 
 
INSUFFICIENT NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: This tour will be organized based on minimum 4 people. Eskapas reserves itself the right to cancel any group for which less than 4 persons have booked 31 days before departure, in which case, the client will be fully reimbursed, or choose to join another tour. 
 
LACK OF SNOW: Eskapas will try to propose another tour at the same dates (alternative program or location). A disagreeing participant would have the choice between postponing the same tour or being reimbursed.
