SEASON
June 1st to October 15th annually

BOOKING PROCEDURES DEPOSIT: To confirm your reservation, we require a non-refundable deposit of $400.00 per person. Payment can be made by personal cheque, or by using Visa, Mastercard or American Express.

CANCELLATION INSURANCE: By necessity, we have strict cancellation policies and therefore recommend all guests purchase cancellation insurance. It is available from our office, and can only be purchased when making your deposit.

FINAL PAYMENT: We must receive the final payment a minimum of 90 days prior to the start of your trip to Fortress Lake. We prefer that your final payments be made by cheque. Overdue payments may result in the cancellation and resale of your reserved space, with no refund applicable to you.

TRAVEL PLANS - A SAFETY NOTE Please do not make plans to use scheduled air, rail, or bus transport on the same day that you are departing Fortress Lake. For your own safety we will not fly in or out of camp during stormy weather, or during periods of low visibility. Guests should allow enough time in their other travel plans to absorb any transportation delays caused by poor weather. Fortress Lake is a remote and wild place, and while for many of us this is its main attraction, mountain weather does not operate on a schedule. If you are delayed and have to spend an extra night at the camp, we will ask to recover a portion of our accommodation costs. We will also provide a full refund for lost nights, if weather delays your initial arrival. Please review our Cancellation Policy carefully.

CANCELLATION POLICY Places Less Travelled Ltd. (PLT) has strict cancellation policies at Fortress Lake Wilderness Retreat. The opportunity for refunds and/or credits resulting from a cancellation are limited. Payment in part or full is considered as agreement to the following terms and conditions: Your deposit is non-refundable. Final payments are due 90 days prior to your arrival. Failure to pay your account on time may subject your booking to cancellation and forfeiture of all fees paid to date. Upon written cancellation received 90 days prior to your arrival, any funds received in excess of your non-refundable deposit will be returned. A cancellation received less than 90 days prior to your arrival will receive no consideration. PLT reserves the right to cancel any or part of a tour and will give as much notice as possible. Cancellation due to reasons beyond PLT's control will result in a credit for any unused portion of the tour. This credit is valid for one calendar year. Cancellation due to reasons within PLT's control may receive a refund for the unused portion of the tour. This refund will be issued within 30 days. Guests choosing to depart prior to tour completion will not be eligible for any credit or refund. Guests are bound by scheduled arrival and departure times. "No shows" will forfeit the entire cost of the tour package. If a guest is late, for any reason whatsoever, they will be responsible for the cost of missed meals, new flight connections, etc. Guests whose flight to the lake is delayed due to factors beyond the control of PLT (such as weather, public emergency, and aircraft availability) shall wait at least 24 hours before requesting cancellation. During this period, PLT shall be solely responsible for deciding when it is possible to safely proceed with the tour, but will diligently pursue this goal. Guests delayed overnight in Golden by factors beyond the control of PLT, will be responsible for their own accommodation and meals. PLT will refund the unused portion of their camp accommodation. This payment will be made within 30 days. Guests delayed over 24 hours may request cancellation and receive full credit towards an alternative tour date, within one calendar year.

GRATUITIES
Gratuities are at your discretion. Should you have an exceptional experience it will likely be a result of the team approach we take to customer satisfaction. Management will gratefully accept any offered gratuity, and then distribute it equally among all the operations staff, along with your compliments.

AMERICAN VISITORS
All rates are quoted in Canadian Dollars. Therefore American guests can factor in a discount in excess of 40%, depending on the prevailing exchange rate.

ALCOHOL
Guests wishing to bring alcoholic beverages or soft drinks to the camp must appreciate that these items will form part of the already limited aircraft luggage allowance (20lbs. per person).

We regret that we cannot have a liquor license, but we do keep a small selection of popular soft drinks at the camp, available by request. These charges will be added to your incidental souvenir or other purchases. We regret that ice is not available at the camp.

We look forward to your visit.
