Poster: A snowHead
|
Although personally I hope I’m wrong, it seems the Uk govt may not decide to vaccinate 12-15s any time soon, and that even if they do, the second dose may be months after the first.
So they won’t qualify for a pass sanitaire in France or the equivalent in Italy.
Is there any news yet as to whether ski lifts will require these? Presumably mountain restaurants will? The prospect of testing a teenager every 48 hours throughout a holiday, is pretty unattractive, not to mention the cost.
What do we reckon? Will or somehow sort itself out??

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@swoafs, not sure how relevant this will be, but Austria has been running an equivalent to the Pass Sanitaire for about 6 months (and by the looks of it, that barely made the news). The answer is no, it’s not required on the lifts, and tests are free*
*with the caveat that this all will have changed several times before we reach the ski season

That’s helpful Scarlett, thank you - you’re quite right that Austria’s version appears not to have hit the news here for some reason. I gather France is making tests chargeable from Sept as a further “incentive” to vaccinate. But to be honest even if they were free, having to go to a pharmacy on every second day of a ski holiday would be a pain in the proverbial….

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Personally I think our government is lining up to do 12-16 from October…
Just based on the media articles and way they are talking.

Seconded. Based on the way the 17/18 decision was explained (greater certainty in existing data), it left the door wide open for the same explanation for 12-16 in a few weeks time.
As it stands, a number of French resorts have been very clear that the pass sanitaire doesn't apply to ski lifts for summer skiing/climbing, as long as you wear masks.
E.g. Compagnie du Mont Blanc: "Following our government's announcement, we are informing you that the Health Pass is not mandatory on our sites. Wearing a mask and complying with the health measures in place remain compulsory."

I shall be keeping an eye on this thread with interest so do keep feeding; my 16 year old has been offered a jab but we opted not to go to Greece this summer as the 10 and 12 year olds need PCRs and one must run the gauntlet of random testing at the airport on arrival...
Possibly going to book for a season opener in late October so Austria will be watched keenly!
