That is kinda what I figured. Thanks for the investigation. Back to the drawing board here.

I know there’s a general sentiment that there will be plenty of places to stay last minute now that it’s moving into off peak. That said, there is NOTHING available in Morzine / Les Gets and most of Grand Massif area (that doesn’t have a bunk bed and under rich guy cost) . I’m eyeing this for...

Geneva, yep...arrive 730A on the 6th.

Got ya...I have no real plan, but to follow best conditions. If I have to take a day trip to other "near places" Ill do it as well. I guess its sort of moot between Zinal and Vissoie, they are but 15 mins apart. ...barring we're not all vaporized by then.

One thing I would ask: if you had your pick, where would you base there? I booked Vissoie (based on Powderhounds) as well as Zinal, which seemed more logical to me. I have a car and I'm usually not in a terrible hurry. (of course this is all subject to change now that there isn't a need to...

Switzerland does not require the Covid Certificate anymore...I have seen this on several places outside of even the Swiss State Webpage. Where you can't even apply for it anymore simply for visiting. This is screenshot from Val Anniviers this: As Tony states, Fernie was very accommodating...

Just checked...this is what a very quick scan came up with....will definitely dig more but this looks good.

@jamesdeluxe thanks for the update. This stuff is changing fast! I just booked a place in Zinal simply so I could at least to put down a location on the entry form, then saw this...WOW

I have zero perspective on these bc Ive only skied in NA, but most of these numbers do not look reassuring in the least. Is this typical? Low? Or seriously low? https://www.snow-forecast.com/maps/dynamic/alps?type=nav&over=none&symbols=summary.upper_depth

@jamesdeluxe out of curiousity did you do this test for entry into Italy as well?

FWIW, I noticed in the past few days when playing with the Swiss entry questionnaire/ tool; it appears that for fully vaxxed travelers coming from USA, DO NOT need any test for entry. I went thru this several times and it always stated the same. The entry form as well as the covid-certificate...

After a few weeks of pondering and a few emails to folks, I decided to push EU back to March 5th-15th. I am now going the way of ChrisC and going the Canada route via Kalispell with sights on Fernie and Castle or if need be Lost Trail/Disco/Whitefish kinda thing. The deciding factor was as...

ChrisC Good stuff, thanks for all that. Forget off-piste guides, is there anywhere to hire a EU rules and regs guide? :lol:

I've never been; and not knowing has led me to skew being over prepared vs. assuming that there won't be anyone asking for documents. After all the reading and such, It seems pretty straight forward at this point, but I'm here to tell ya, Ive had more than one client of mine (as recently as a...

So I got to thinking about this the past few days. The issue of crossing a border in the time of CV19 and in the case of being near 3 countries and contending with entering one for a few days and then another a few days later....not to mention a border crossing ON SKIS. This is adding up to be...

So onto this: Accommodations; and the general sentiment on how anyone has tackled this since the consensus is to hold fast til one knows a general direction once travel gets closer. Question is, how do have you whom have been there work this? I definitely know 1/2 board is the thing, I am more...

Good point Tony. Less factors to muddle ones plan is great advice. Ill add this is my first time to EU and I'm as excited to just experience it as I am to ski it. Some of this is re-programming how one plans and ranks priorities and expectations after only skiing in NA. Here my mind is snow...

This post keeps drawing my mind back to this area.. Progress Report: Booked GVA for Jan28-Feb7. Choose it at the time over ZRH due to the stated 7 hours layover on the way home...of course the day after I booked for Geneva the Zurich return changed to only a 2 hr layover. Zurich is still...

I've definitely taken that into consideration. At the same time I'm not necessarily opposed to a stop...I'm in Madison so it comes with the territory usually no matter where you go... the usual debate ensures when you live here: 2 hrs drive-park-deal with everything ORD to get a non-stop or pay...

I just called United about this the other day and they said 70$, although I've not been completely trusting on information from such places as of late. Swiss Air does appear to allow the 1 free as you state. (I havent verified it) The comedy being it said "Swiss Air, Operated by United" Go...
