From mountain sports to navigation and outdoor first aid – learn new skills and develop self-confidence with our range of fantastic programmes.
Like the rest of the world, we are currently confronted with a time of uncertainty due to the Corona Virus. As an experienced and responsible tour operator and adventure organiser the safety, wellbeing and trust of our clients is and will always be our number one priority. As such we continue to monitor the situation very closely and would like to share with you the relevant information so that you understand your rights when booking a tour or event with us. Additionally we have also reviewed our booking conditions to support you in the booking process.
For bookings from 16.03.20 we have changed our terms so that you can book your tour WITHOUT any payment until the tour is GUARANTEED to go through according to travel advice of the relevant authorities. For more information please see our terms & conditions
Currently it is advised to avoid unnecessary travel for the time being. Our winter events are all within Germany. Both Italy and Austria are currently on the Corona risk list www.rki.de/DE/Content/InfAZ/N/Neuartiges_Coronavirus/Risikogebiete_neu.html from the Robert Koch Institute. With Austria currently in full lockdown until 26.11.2020.
All our winter events are based in Bavaria, Germany. We anticipate that our summer tours in Germany, Austria and Italy will go ahead as planned – since all managed to go ahead in summer 2020 we see this as highly likely. This is of course dependent on the status of the region and country close to the time of the event. If however the situation changes and we have to cancel or postpone the tour or event we either offer you another tour, postpone the booking or will provide a complete refund.
Yes- you will get the full payment back within 14 days.
This depends on whether there are Unavoidable Extraordinary Cirumstances actually at the start of the tour. The following information is relevant:
Should there be sudden changes or restrictions due to Corona (and other Unavoidable Extraordinary Circumstances) during the course of the tour, we will upon consultation with the participants curtail the tour. Tour costs for the proportion of the tour not delivered will of course be refunded. Any costs incurred due to a longer stay/change in transportation will be covered by 4elements.
Yes! As things currently stand we expect our summer tours to go ahead as planned. As a small tour operator we do need minimum numbers to ensure that tours are viable and to give our partners (accommodation, guides) as much notice as possible for their planning too. So booking ahead of time guarantees that we can hold the accommodation, guides etc.
We fully appreciate though that in this time of uncertainty you may be anxious to lay down your hard earned cash at this point. This is why for bookings from 16.03.20 we have changed our terms so that you can book your tour WITHOUT any payment until the tour is GUARANTEED to go through according to travel advice of the relevant authorities.
