  • If cancellation is necessary, you will be offered a transfer to another retreat or a full refund of monies paid, except where cancellation is due to force majeure (in which case credits may be issued at our discretion).

7. Alcohol-Free Environment

  • Soberski retreats are alcohol-free. Bringing or consuming alcohol on the retreat is strictly prohibited.

  • Violation of this policy may result in removal from the retreat without refund.

8. Important Disclaimer

  • Soberski is not an alcohol rehabilitation program, detox clinic, or medical facility.

  • Our retreats are designed as adventure holidays in an alcohol-free environment, combining skiing, wellness, and coaching.

  • We offer alcohol-free alternatives such as “Low&No” / 0% beers, wines, and spirits. If you are concerned that you may find any of these things triggering then we strongly recommend that you consult a healthcare professional before attending, and consider whether this trip is right for you.

  • Participation is not a substitute for professional treatment for addiction, dependency, or medical/mental health conditions.

  • If you are seeking medical or therapeutic support, we recommend you consult a qualified healthcare professional before booking.

9. Liability

  • Skiing and mountain activities carry inherent risks. By booking, you acknowledge these risks.

  • Soberski is not liable for injury, illness, loss, or damage sustained during the retreat, except where caused by our proven negligence.

  • Soberski is not liable for any guest decisions regarding the consumption or intake of alcohol whilst out of the chalet. Though we will offer an alcohol-free environment at the chalet, it is at each guest’s own discretion to ensure they do not consume alcohol on this week in their own time and we accept no responsibility for this choice.

  • You are responsible for your own safety and equipment.

10. Media & Content

  • Soberski may photograph and film retreats for promotional purposes. If you do not wish to appear in such content, please notify us in writing before arrival.

11. Governing Law
