Pressure from the Federal Council is having an impact: the cantons give way in the dispute over the terraces
After Graubünden, the other cantons also close the terraces in the ski areas. The cantons announced this on Friday.
As of Monday, it is no longer possible to eat on the terrace here at Brunni in Engelberg.
(mg) Starting Monday, Schnipo is ready on the restaurant terrace in the various ski areas. “The canton of Glarus is adapting its practice to seating in the outdoor areas of take-out businesses in ski areas,” a statement said Friday. So these will be closed from Monday.
Consistent messages also arrived from Nidwalden, Obwalden and Ticino. In principle, this has also been agreed with the cantons of Uri and Schwyz, writes the Nidwalden government. There are regional differences regarding the closing date. Tables and seats at Uri must be removed from Saturday, as the canton writes on its website.
In recent days, the terrace dispute between the Federal Council and the canton had escalated. After Federal Councilor Alain Berset repeatedly asked the cantons in question to comply with the ordered closure, six cantons initially refused. They sought a conversation with the Federal Council and took the position that openness had proven its worth. That was not enough for the Federal Council and increased the pressure. Successfully, as shown now. “We are very sorry that we were unable to find a compromise solution,” Michèle Blöchliger, director of health and social affairs at Nidwalden, said in the message.
