The borders with Germany, Austria and France are due to open in the coming weeks.
Traveling to Germany, France and Austria could be possible again in just a few weeks. This is confirmed by the department of federal councilor Keller-Sutter. It should go even faster for lovers.
Good news for all Swiss who love to travel: the borders with neighboring countries should be reopened quickly. At least those of neighboring countries Germany, France and Austria. In recent days, Justice Minister Karin Keller-Sutter made several calls to her counterparts Horst Seehofer (D), Christophe Castaner (F) and Karl Nehammer (AT) about the return to freedom of travel.

“Everyone wants the border situation to normalize as quickly as possible,” confirms Agnès Schenker, spokesman for federal councilor Keller-Sutter, the information in this newspaper. Schenker says about border traffic with Germany, France and Austria:
The prerequisite, of course, is that the spread of the virus crowns in all three countries? and in Switzerland? continue being contained. A border opening with Italy, which is still seriously affected, can be expected less quickly.
The solution is to get there even faster for lovers
On all three borders, opening for people who have suffered particularly from the difficult situation in recent weeks is even faster: single couples living in different countries. But also owners of vacation homes. However, there are still some open questions. Secretary of State Mario Gattiker was commissioned to work out the exact details of each of the three countries. “Specific agreements with each country are needed,” says Schenker. Therefore, it cannot provide any information on an exact time.
Currently there are strict rules at the borders. People who cross the border can enter the country to work, as can married couples when they visit their spouses. For concubine couples, entry is prohibited, apart from a few difficult cases. Germany’s strict rules apply until May 15. These days, the Berlin government has to decide whether and how to continue the measures. Several state prime ministers called for border openings.
