Maykiss Handbook
A calm, guest-ready guide—arrival, house rhythm, winter logistics, and the small things that reduce friction.
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.
Confirm your check‑in time, transport plan, and grocery rhythm. In winter, a small buffer makes the trip feel human.
- •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.
- •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.
- •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.
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.
Ski weeks are mostly logistics: when you leave, where you park, where you rent, and how you recover. Keep plans flexible—conditions change fast.
Quiet nights, tidy parking, and leave no trace in the mountains. Hakuba is a village rhythm—guests should fit into it.
