Christmas and the New Year will be far from being a new normal. Strict rules apply to celebrations at Christmas and New Year’s Eve, as well as in ski areas, which are intended to prevent an increase in the number of cases. The most important questions and answers.
Skiing and winter holidays
Will the ski areas remain open?
At the moment, Switzerland is the only country in the Alpine region that opens its ski resorts. Despite sometimes fierce criticism from abroad and the growing number of cases in various cantons, Switzerland wants to continue operating the slopes during the festive season. In order to ensure that there is no further contagion in the winter sports resorts despite the high fever, the operators of the ski areas must comply with numerous requirements. As of December 22, ski areas require a permit from the canton to operate. The Health Minister, Alain Berset, trusts the cantons that they will only grant ski resort operators this permit if the epidemiological situation allows it.
