- “Consecutive Hours Passes”: The number of hours is deducted, without interruption, in a continuous manner, from the first passage through the first access point of the ski lift. If, when the ski lifts close, the credit of hour(s) has not been completely used, the remaining hour(s) credit or fraction thereof cannot be carried over to a later date, nor refunded or exchanged.

This physical medium is delivered free of charge by the Seller when ordering Passes (at points of sale, automatic kiosks, terminals for purchasing/recharging, or at www.skipass-serrechevalier.com).

No new ski pass can be registered until the pass originally encoded on the physical medium has been completely consumed. Otherwise, the initial pass will be irretrievably cancelled, and the Client cannot claim any compensation.
