Due to the smaller chalet options selling out so fast, organisers have started a 'Share A Chalet' scheme for those who want to come but can't find enough people to buy a bigger chalet. If you wouldn't mind sharing with people you don't know in order to be able to buy a chalet, please email us at nightmarechalets@gmail.com with details of how many people you have interested in buying, and they will get back to you with more information on how you can pay individually for single chalet spaces.
