In fact, the federal government has repeatedly made it clear that the terraces must close. But central Switzerland continues.
Take a short break on the ski slope, grab some takeout and then eat on the terrace – the cantons of Nidwalden, Obwalden, Schwyz, Uri, Glarus and Ticino allow this in their ski areas, in some cases for weeks .

However, the announcement from Bern is clear: the terraces must be closed. As with other take-out food outside the ski areas, seating and tables are prohibited. After the Federal Council reaffirmed the ban on Wednesday, Graubünden relented and will soon close the terraces.
Two main arguments for terraces
The other cantons, especially central Switzerland, do not want to give in yet. They want to continue fighting for the terraces. On the one hand, they take the position that permits for the ski area are a matter for the canton, on the other hand, they also cite health reasons: on the terraces, it is better to ensure that the minimum distance and the size of the group are observed. says Michèle, Nidwalden Bloody’s health director.
The interested cantons will return to talks with Federal Councilor Alain Berset.
These arguments are not new. The cantons introduced them in the consultation on flexibilization measures, but they were not accepted by the Federal Council.
However, now there is another attempt. That was revealed at a meeting of health directors in central Switzerland on Thursday morning, says the conference president, Lucerne government councilor Guido Graf: “Interested cantons will seek another discussion with the federal councilor. Alain Berset “.

The fact that the dispute over the terrace can be prolonged has to do with the legal starting position. The federal government has absolutely no means of forcing the cantons to close the terraces. But isn’t it questionable whether the cantons actively oppose the federal guidelines? Guido Graf avoids and only says: “The health directors of central Switzerland are really very interested in a good cooperation between the federal government and the cantons.” Then add: “Who knows, maybe there is a solution. From either side. “
