How to use this

This handbook is short on purpose. We keep only what helps guests act: where to go, when to leave, what to bring, and what to confirm.

For weather + driving, start with Weather & snow notes.
Before you arrive

Confirm your check‑in time, transport plan, and grocery rhythm. In winter, a small buffer makes the trip feel human.

We’ll share access codes 48 hours before arrival: a main entrance code + a room door code.
Arrival
  • Plan a winter buffer: roads slow down, and parking fills earlier after snowfall.
  • Save your route in Google Maps before you leave (signal can be spotty in the valley).
  • If you’re taking the shuttle or bus, confirm the seasonal PDF timetable on the official site.
  • If you’re driving, treat winter as serious: proper tires and chains when conditions require.
Practical links live on /location.
Parking
  • Park tidily and keep access clear—winter plows and narrow village roads need space.
  • On powder days, aim earlier than you think (gondola-side lots fill fast).
  • Keep a small car kit: scraper, gloves, warm layer, water, and a phone charger.
  • If you’re unsure, message us before arrival—we’ll confirm the simplest option.
Owner to confirm: exact parking spot + snowplow instructions.
Check‑in
  • Standard times: check‑in from 15:00, check‑out by 10:00.
  • Access codes are shared 48 hours before arrival.
  • Keypad locks: one code for the main entrance, and a separate code for your room door.
  • Early/late arrival? Message your ETA—WhatsApp is fastest.
Future upgrade: room codes can be generated per stay and time‑bounded to your check‑in/out window.
House rhythm

Maykiss is a chalet: shared space, warm evenings, quiet mornings. It’s designed for living together—less like a hotel, more like a second home.

Winter logistics

Ski weeks are mostly logistics: when you leave, where you park, where you rent, and how you recover. Keep plans flexible—conditions change fast.

See Easy living for the skier’s shortlist.
Respect the village

Quiet nights, tidy parking, and leave no trace in the mountains. Hakuba is a village rhythm—guests should fit into it.
