1. Subject matter and conclusion of the contract
After receipt of the order confirmation via email, a contract incorporating these GT&Cs is concluded between you (hereinafter referred to as the “Customer”) and Iglu-Dorf GmbH (hereinafter referred to as the “Organizer"). The person making the booking is responsible for communicating the GT&Cs to all other participants for which they are making the booking.
All services of the organizer are to be paid in advance. For events with a value of more than CHF 3'500, there is the possibility of payment in two installments. The advance payment at the time of booking is 50%, the final invoice will be issued after the event. Discounts are not cumulative.
Any additional services (e.g. Hotel night, additional meals, reservation of means of transport, event activities, etc.) provided by partner companies are subject to their own general terms and conditions.
2. Cancellation or change of order by the Customer
We advise you to take out trip cancellation insurance so that you are covered in the event of illness, accident etc.. The Customer is responsible for taking out such an insurance policy.
We recommend e.g. Allianz for travel insurance.
Any cancellation must be received in writing and confirmed by the Organizer. The cancellation fees depend on the date the organizer received the cancellation notice.
The following cancellation and postponement fees apply:
General provisions: Overnight stays
In case of cancellation of overnight stays, the customer will be charged the following costs:
- Up to 60 days before the overnight stay 0%.
- 59 to 30 days before the overnight stay 10%
- 29 to 7 days before the overnight stay 50%
- Less than 7 days before the overnight stay 100%
If you booked your Iglu-Dorf via a commission partner or paid for it with a voucher from a commission partner, the refund will be made minus the commission amount. In any case, a maximum of 80% of the booking amount will be refunded and only in the form of a voucher.
General provisions: Fondue & activities (up to 10 people)
Events with up to 10 participants can be booked via the organizer's booking office against advance payment.

If the group size is adjusted, the cancellation conditions set out above apply. A reduction of the order value by more than 20% is also treated as a cancellation. If you cancel an overnight stay that had already been postponed, we will charge a cancellation fee of 100%.
In general, a flat rate of 5% of the booking amount can be charged for costs already incurred or organization work for event services. If the actual costs incurred for expenses are higher, these may also be billed.
3. Refunds
Whenever possible, we are happy to make the refund in the form of a voucher. In the event of a cash refund, the money will always be refunded to the source of payment used for the payment. Expenses incurred in the course of payment transactions by third-party institutions (bank, post office, credit card etc.) will be charged in addition to the cancellation costs.
Vouchers for services provided by Iglu-Dorf GmbH will not be refunded in cash, even if a booking has to be cancelled or postponed.
4. Late arrival
In case of late arrival or non-appearance of the Customer e.g., because of bad road conditions, traffic jams etc. 100% of the booking amount will be charged. Any additional costs incurred as a result shall be borne by the Customer. If the Customer joins an activity after it has started or leaves before it has ended, there is no right to a refund or partial refund.
Therefore, please allow plenty of time and note the times given in the directions.
5. Cancellations by Iglu-Dorf GmbH
The Organizer can cancel the overnight stay or the event in whole or in part due to cessation of cable car operations (wind, avalanches, pandemic etc.) or due to lack of snow. These will be made by telephone to the mobile number given at the time of booking. If the Organizer has to cancel the event on the date booked, the Organizer will offer the Customer an alternative of equivalent value from the offer of the organizer if possible. If the Customer refuses this, an alternative date will be sought, a voucher issued or 100% of the booking amount refunded.
Cancellation by the Organizer is usually made by 12:00 noon on the day of the booked accommodation/event. Arrival and departure costs, possible accommodation costs as well as cancellation costs of external services will not be borne by the Organizer.
In the Iglu-Dorf Zugspitze, avalanche blasting may result in the Customer having to leave the Iglu-Dorf immediately, possibly even in the middle of the night. Depending on the situation, it may not be possible to return to the Iglu-Dorf. No refund may be claimed for such an interruption or termination of the stay in the Iglu-Dorf.
