Important Information - Visas & Entry/Exit from Abkhazia
Passing through the Abkhazia border from Russia usually takes 30-40 minutes. Non-Russians, depending on their citizenship, may need a dual or multi-visa issued from the Russian Federation, as well as a visa to Abkhazia (issued upon entry). The dual or multi-entry visa is necessary to facilitate your initial entry into Russia & then, following your heli-ski day in Abkhazia, your re-entry into Russia to return to Sochi. Contact with the tour operator in advance is necessary to assist with the preparation all the necessary documents.
ADDITIONAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
ABS Backpack Activation
In the case of an ABS system activation outside the situation of an avalanche danger, the payment is €135.
Non-Departure & Refunds
The reason for non-departure can be: non-flying weather, high avalanche danger, administrative reasons that are not dependent on the organizing company (for example, a flight ban).
In cases of non-departure for the reasons, depending on the organizing company (shortage of customers in the group, helicopter unavailability, etc.), we guarantee, at the request of the customer, a 100% refund.
Refunds are NOT made due to the inability to ski for the following reasons:
– illness or injury received both before and during the program;
– the impossibility of skiing due to fatigue;
– unwillingness or impossibility for the client to ride due to bad weather conditions or severe snow conditions (in the condition that safe skiing is possible on this day).
According to the decision of the guide, the participant can be removed from skiing if the level of his/her technical or physical training does not match the other group members – i.e. the participant significantly “slows down” the group, creates a danger to themselves or other group members. In this case, the organizing company does not make any compensation.
