Special announcement for our UK friends hoping to come to Chamonix for Christmas. (EU red list countries are not experiencing any boarding or transit issues)

After many phone calls to various embassy's and Swiss authorities we can confirm that transit from Geneva to France is still allowed (with a negative PCR test - not obligatory but recommended), proof of accommodation, entry form marked transit and/or residency status).

Use this link to check what you need to do regardless of where you are coming from:https://travelcheck.admin.ch/home

HOWEVER, the wording on the UK.Govt website is incorrect and in contrary to this and until its updated, airlines will continue to refuse boarding to anyone who doesn't hold residency.

We can assure you there are a lot of individuals petitioning the UK government right now to get this wording changed ASAP so take a deep breath, look at this wonderful view and know Chamonix has got your back and we're all working hard to see you soon!

Regular updates as we get them.
