Retreat questions

Can colleagues join for the day without staying overnight?

Short answer

Yes, but only if they are on the booking. A chalet is rented on the understanding of how many people will be there, and guests or visitors beyond that number are not allowed. The fix takes one sentence: when you inquire, tell us about everyone who will be on site, including a facilitator, a chef, a photographer, or colleagues driving up for one session. We build the booking around the real number.

Why the rule exists

The chalets are in a residential neighbourhood with a parking limit and a noise by-law, so a house quietly filling with twice the expected number is a problem for everyone living around it. Breaking the occupancy rule means losing the security deposit and possibly being asked to leave, which is not a conversation anyone wants during a company retreat.

Who to mention when you inquire

  • A facilitator or coach running a session
  • A private chef or catering staff
  • A photographer or videographer
  • Colleagues from a nearby office joining for a day or an evening
  • Partners joining for the last night
  • Anyone arriving separately or late

None of these are a problem. Being surprised by them is.

Parking for day guests

Parking is at the chalet and the municipality does not allow street parking and enforces it, so count the cars as well as the people. If a session brings extra vehicles for the day, say so and we will tell you where they go. See parking for the team.

Questions

Good to know

Can colleagues come for the day without staying?

Yes, as long as they are part of the booking. Tell us about anyone joining for a day or an evening when you inquire.

Does a facilitator or chef count as a guest?

For planning purposes, yes — tell us about them so the booking covers everyone who will be on site.

What happens if extra people turn up?

The booking is made for a set number of people, and exceeding it means the loss of the security deposit and possibly eviction. It is easily avoided by telling us the real number.

Can we run a one-day retreat without staying overnight?

A day-and-evening format can be quoted. Most groups stay, so nobody is driving afterwards, but ask for the day format when you inquire.
