HOW WILL COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS

AFFECT MY WINTER SKIING TRIP?

After the loss of the 2020/21 ski season, all the

signs point to this winter being a record-

breaker, with more people than ever before

wanting to hit the pistes.

But while travel abroad has now become

easier and cheaper, with lateral flow tests on

return to the UK replacing the more expensive

PCR test, ski resorts around the world have

introduced restrictions of their own to ensure

lifts keep turning.

New Covid-19 rules will affect family ski

holidays if teenagers haven’t yet been jabbed,

and we can expect more widespread use of

masks and social distancing rules as well as

lower occupancy in cable-cars and hospitality

venues than during pre-pandemic times.

Here’s our guide to the red tape currently

in place. Bear in mind that the situation is

changing constantly as case rates rise and fall

— should the UK infection rate rise, it’s sure

to have an immediate bearing on where and

when we’re allowed to travel.
