France’s Health Pass is now officially the Vaccine Pass. The government has now made it a legal requirement to be vaccinated to visit theme parks, use ski lifts, dine out, enter bars and travel on inter-city transport.

A negative Covid-19 test result will no longer be sufficient to enter venues and related businesses. President Emmanuel Macron has pledged to make life hard for people resolutely refusing to get fully vaccinated.

The latest in the Grondère Series is coming soon. Based in the fictional ski resort of Grondère in the Swiss Alps. "A body lies at the foot of one of the most formidable off-piste ski routes in Grondère, just as the cry of a wolf is heard for the first time in the Swiss resort. Accident or murder? "

Keep yourself up to date on the hand baggage rules... they are changing in February.

Easyjet passengers will soon only be able to take a single small bag which fits under the seat in front of them into the cabin unless they pay extra for priority seating, as the airline's slashing its hand luggage allowance

Snow fell this week in the Alps but will you be able to enjoy skiing this Winter?
❄️😷❄️😷❄️😷❄️😷
Well yes... however at the moment it’s only Italy and Germany that have ‘travel corridors’. For all other skiing destinations you’d need to quarantine on arrival or return.*
So a quick ski break to France, Switzerland or Austria 18-21 December, would mean you’d have to quarantine for Christmas and New Year 🤦‍♀️ 🎄
*Clearly things can and will change but that’s how it is at the moment 😷

❄️This useful article helps to explain in more detail❄️
