2 Registration and fees
Registration must be completed online or in another form specified by the Organiser. By submitting a registration, the Participant accepts these Terms & Conditions and confirms that the information supplied is complete and accurate.
Registration becomes binding only once the Organiser has received full payment of the registration fee and confirmed the registration. The registration fee covers participation in the Event only; travel and accommodation are not included.
3 Cancellation of registration by the Participant
All cancellations must be submitted in writing to interbourse2027@gmail.com. Refunds are calculated as a percentage of the registration fee paid, according to the date on which the Organiser receives the cancellation:
| Cancellation received | Registration fee refunded |
|---|---|
| On or before 30 June 2026 | 70% |
| 1 July to 30 September 2026 inclusive | 50% |
| 1 October to 23 November 2026 inclusive | 10% |
| From 24 November 2026 | No refund |
These refunds apply only to cancellation by the Participant. Cancellation or changes by the Organiser in exceptional circumstances are covered by section 10. Cancellation of registration does not cancel an accommodation booking or create a right to an accommodation refund.
4 Accommodation arrangements
The Tourist Office has created an accommodation offer specifically for the Event, taking account of the Organiser’s preferences and available accommodation. The rates, availability and booking conditions have been negotiated by the Tourist Office. Access to these negotiated rates is conditional upon participation in the Event.
For this Event only, the Organiser collects and forwards accommodation requests, bookings and the corresponding payments to the Accommodation Providers through the Tourist Office. The Accommodation Provider supplies the accommodation; the Organiser coordinates the requests and payments.
5 Accommodation payments
A deposit of 30% of the total accommodation cost is due upon booking and must be paid within seven days. If the deposit is not paid within that period, the reservation will be cancelled.
The remaining balance is due on 6 November 2026, stated in the accommodation offer as 75 days before arrival. The Participant remains responsible for paying the full amount due under the booking conditions.
6 Accommodation cancellation and transfer
Accommodation cancellation is separate from cancellation of the Event or the Participant’s registration. A registration fee may be partly or fully refundable while the accommodation remains non-refundable. The following cancellation charges apply to the event accommodation offer, subject to any different conditions expressly stated for the selected Accommodation Provider at the time of booking:
| Cancellation before arrival | Accommodation cancellation charge |
|---|---|
| Up to 60 days prior to arrival | The full deposit is retained |
| 60 days or fewer | 100% of the total accommodation cost is payable |
Where the full accommodation cost is payable, any unpaid balance remains due. The Participant must check the conditions applicable to the selected Accommodation Provider before booking and notify the Organiser in writing of any cancellation.
In the event of force majeure affecting the Participant, the Participant may transfer the accommodation booking to another Participant, provided that the Organiser is notified. The original Participant remains liable for the full accommodation payment and must arrange any reimbursement or compensation directly with the replacement Participant.
6.1 Ski & pedestrian pass order bookings and cancellation terms & conditions
Bookings will be available on the website until 31 December 2026, with full payment expected by this date at the latest.
- It will be possible to cancel a ski & pedestrian pass order up until 12 days prior to arrival. The latest cancellation deadline is 11 January 2027 at 10 am CET, with proof of email receipt required at interbourse2027@gmail.com.

6.2 Transfer terms and conditions
Tickets for transport to and from Courchevel sold by the organiser will be binding and non-refundable upon purchase, and subject to any conditions stated upon the website upon purchase.
7 Participation and inherent risks
Participation is voluntary and at the Participant’s own risk and responsibility. Activities may include skiing, snowboarding and other winter sports, ski races and sporting competitions, après-ski, evening activities and parties.
The Participant acknowledges the inherent risks of these activities, including physical exertion, weather, snow and slope conditions, terrain and visibility, use of ski lifts and mountain facilities, collisions, risks associated with organised group activities and the possible consumption of alcohol. The Participant knowingly and voluntarily accepts these risks, subject to any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
8 Health and safety
The Participant confirms that they are physically and mentally fit to participate. Each Participant is responsible for assessing their health and obtaining medical advice where necessary.
Participants must comply with applicable laws and regulations, the FIS rules of conduct, slope regulations, safety instructions and requirements imposed by public authorities or service operators.
The Organiser may exclude a Participant from all or part of the Event if they pose a risk to themselves or others, or breach the safety or conduct rules. In such cases, no registration fee refund is due, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Accommodation cancellation charges remain governed by section 6.
9 Liability and third party services
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Organiser is liable for loss or damage caused by its intentional misconduct or gross negligence. Liability for ordinary negligence is limited to breaches of essential contractual obligations and to foreseeable loss or damage typically arising from such breaches. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury where applicable law prohibits such exclusion or limitation.
Subject to the preceding paragraph, the Organiser accepts no liability for personal injury, property damage or financial loss caused by other Participants, the Tourist Office, Accommodation Providers or Other Service Providers. Participants are responsible for damage they cause to others in accordance with applicable law.
Use of accommodation, transport, ski lifts, slopes, ski schools, catering facilities and other third party services is subject to the relevant provider’s terms and operating rules. The Organiser is not responsible for those providers’ services or breaches of duty, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Organiser accepts no liability for loss of or damage to sports equipment, clothing or valuables. The liability limitations in these Terms also apply to the Organiser’s volunteers and representatives and persons assisting with the Event, insofar as legally permissible.
10 Force Majeure
The organiser will not be held responsible for any cancellation, delay or change to the ski trip caused by exceptional circumstances beyond its reasonable control which could not reasonably have been foreseen or avoided. These may include acts of God, severe weather, natural disasters, riots, civil unrest, war, terrorism, epidemics, closure of the ski resort, major transport disruption or restrictions imposed by public authorities.
The Organiser may cancel, interrupt, postpone or modify all or part of the Event in such circumstances, or where required by public authorities or for safety reasons. The Event may otherwise proceed in different weather conditions, subject to safety requirements.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, no refund of the registration fee, accommodation, ski passes, transfers, damages or compensation is payable for such cancellation, interruption, delay or change. This section does not override any mandatory legal right to a refund or compensation.
11 Insurance
Each Participant is responsible for obtaining adequate travel, health, accident, third party liability, cancellation and winter sports insurance, including cover for the activities in which they intend to participate. Participants should ensure that their cover includes ski racing or competitions where relevant, rescue and repatriation, and non-refundable accommodation costs.
12 Personal data and privacy policy
The Organiser processes personal data to organise and manage the Event, registrations, payments, accommodation arrangements and necessary communications. Data required for these purposes may be shared with the Tourist Office, Accommodation Providers and relevant partners, only to the extent necessary.
Personal data is processed in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable national data protection laws. The Organiser takes appropriate measures to protect personal data and retains it only for as long as necessary for these purposes or to meet legal obligations. Participants may exercise their rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction and objection, where applicable, and lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. Further information about processing and Participants’ rights is provided in the Organiser’s Privacy Policy. Requests concerning personal data may be sent to interbourse2027@gmail.com.
Sharing a Participant’s name, email address or image and any other data which are listed in the Whoswho with sponsors listed in the Event programme for advertising or promotional purposes requires the Participant’s separate, voluntary consent. Refusal does not affect participation. Consent may be withdrawn at any time for future use.
13 Photographs, recordings and results
With the Participant’s separate consent, photographs, video and audio recordings made during the Event in which the Participant is recognisable may be used by the Organiser, free of charge, for documentation, reporting and promotion, including on its website, social media and in printed material. Consent may be withdrawn at any time for future use by contacting interbourse2027@gmail.com.
Participants are informed that their names and sporting results may be published in Event result lists and reporting, in accordance with applicable data protection law and the Organiser’s Privacy Policy.
14 Language applicable law and severability
The contract language is English. This English version is the authoritative version of these Terms.
These Terms are governed by French law, subject to any mandatory protections applicable to the Participant. Any dispute shall be referred to the courts having jurisdiction under applicable law.
If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply. No provision excludes rights or obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded.
15 Acceptance
By registering, the Participant confirms that they have read and understood these Terms and accept the registration, payment, cancellation, accommodation, risk and insurance conditions. Acceptance of these Terms does not constitute consent to optional media use or sponsor marketing.
