What should I know about using the studio?
Refuge Long Churn is a compact 22 m² studio designed for two guests, so we ask that skis, snowboards, bikes and other bulky outdoor equipment are kept in the dedicated storage areas rather than inside the studio.
Please ventilate the studio when needed and treat the accommodation and equipment with care. If anything isn't working as expected, contact us and we'll be happy to help.
SKI, BIKE & STORAGE
Where can I store my skis, snowboard and boots?
Skis, snowboards and boots can be stored securely in our dedicated garage/storage area. Ski boot warmers are provided, so your boots can be left to dry and warm ready for your next day on the mountain.
The storage area is covered by CCTV for additional security.
Can I securely store and charge my bike or e-bike?
Yes. Secure bike storage is available by arrangement in our garage/storage area, which is covered by CCTV.
E-bike charging is also available. Please let us know before your stay if you are bringing bikes so we can make sure the storage area is ready for you.
Is there storage for bulky luggage and outdoor equipment?
Yes. Additional secure storage is available in our garage/storage area for bulky luggage and outdoor equipment that you don't need to keep in the studio.
If you are bringing particularly large items or specialist equipment, please let us know before your stay so we can make sure suitable space is available.
HOUSE INFORMATION
Where can I smoke or vape?
Smoking and vaping are not permitted inside the studio. You are welcome to smoke outside in the covered carport or recessed entrance area, but please keep the studio door closed while smoking to prevent smoke entering the accommodation for the comfort of future guests.
Please dispose of cigarette ends responsibly.
How do recycling and waste work?
We provide separate bins in the studio for general waste and recycling. Larger waste and recycling bins are available in the garage/storage area.
There is also a local recycling collection point opposite Le Col du Palet for glass and other recyclable materials.
We encourage guests to recycle wherever possible.
What do I need to do before checking out?
Please leave the studio tidy, wash and put away any dishes, empty your rubbish and recycling, and make sure you have all your belongings.
Before leaving, please log out of any personal accounts on the Smart TV, switch off lights and appliances, and securely close the door.
Any additional departure instructions relevant to your booking will be provided during your stay.
​What should I do in an emergency?
In an emergency in France, call 112. You can also call 15 for medical emergencies, 18 for fire and 17 for police.
A fire extinguisher is located in the studio storage area.
In the event of a fire, leave the studio immediately and use the covered carport as the emergency meeting point.
