Skiing with or without the Green Pass? Here is the situation for next winter.
Friday 17 September 2021 4 minutes reading time
The 2021/2022 winter season is approaching and some countries are already thinking about how to deal with the pandemic and the "problem" of ski lifts and slopes to try to ensure maximum safety as much as possible and not risk having to close early.
Among these is Switzerland, where the ski lifts remained open last winter. From 13 September, starting from 16 years of age, the obligation of the green pass is in force for closed places such as bars and restaurants, museums, libraries, zoos, gyms, indoor swimming pools, water parks, billiard halls, theaters, cinema, sporting events, weddings. And, to save the next winter season, we are already thinking of adopting the obligation of green certification also on the ski slopes.
At the moment, the obligation of the Green pass is until January 24, 2022, with the possibility of canceling the provision in advance in case the epidemiological situation and the hospitals should improve.
Also in Austria the Green Pass is mandatory in restaurants, hotels, spas, sports centers such as swimming pools and gyms. There are still no official decisions for the lifts that last year remained open only for residents.
The winter season at the Stubai should begin at the end of September (it will depend on the snow conditions) where at the moment the use of a mask is required to get on gondola lifts and chairlifts with protective domes, while it is mandatory to have the Green Pass in catering facilities. But it would seem that soon the green certificate could also be made mandatory for ski lifts.
No news for Slovenia and France where, however, the green pass is required everywhere.
As you know, there is still no news on this also for Italy, although in Val Senales, open from today (September 17), the lifts can only be accessed with green certification. Furthermore, the Aosta Valley, Helmut Santori (President of Anef Alto Adige) and Andy Varallo (President of Dolomiti Superski) have already announced in recent days that they are in favor of the obligation of the Green Pass to return to the ski slopes. .
