Booking and Cancellation Terms

These terms explain how a Meådal booking request, confirmation, cancellation and weather-related changes are handled.

Booking request and confirmation

The booking form is a request only. A stay is not confirmed until Meådal has checked availability, hide capacity, cabin logistics and practical details, and has confirmed the booking in writing.

Current direct booking facts

• Main season: January to mid-March.
• Earlier winter dates may be requested, depending on snow conditions and local logistics.
• Price: NOK 2300 per photographer per hide day.
• Minimum stay: 2 hide days.
• Capacity: normally 1-4 photographers.
• Red Cabin accommodation connected to the booked hide stay is included.
• Pickup at Trondheim Airport Værnes before the stay and return to the airport after the stay can be arranged for NOK 1200 total per group.

Arrival and stay rhythm

Guests normally arrive in the afternoon or evening before the first hide day. A typical 2-hide-day stay includes 2 nights in the Red Cabin, unless another arrival or departure plan is agreed in writing.

The local team meets guests at the farm, takes them to the Red Cabin and hide area on arrival, explains the practical setup, and brings guests back to the farm after the stay.

Payment

Payment details are sent after dates and practical details have been confirmed. Any specific payment deadlines or deposit requirements should be confirmed in writing before the booking is final.

Guest cancellation

If you need to cancel, contact Meådal as early as possible. Any refund, date change or credit depends on the written payment and cancellation details agreed for the confirmed booking, and on costs that cannot reasonably be recovered.

Weather, access and safety

Mountain weather can change quickly. If weather, access, snow conditions or safety make the planned hide stay impractical or unsafe, Meådal may need to change, postpone or cancel part of the arrangement. If this happens, Meådal will try to make a reasonable alternative plan where possible. As of 24 July 2026, Meådal has not had to cancel a stay for this reason, but the possibility must be clear before booking.

Wildlife expectations

Golden eagles are wild birds. Hides, routines and local knowledge are prepared to give good opportunities, but sightings, light, weather and bird behaviour can never be guaranteed.

Guest responsibility

Guests are responsible for flights, travel documents, travel insurance, food, personal clothing, camera equipment and their own travel plans before and after the Meådal stay unless something else is agreed in writing.

Privacy

Information sent through the booking form is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

Questions before booking

If any point is important for your travel plans, ask before payment or final confirmation. Contact booking@meadal.com.
