Tips for the season
Well planned is half the battle when it comes to skiing vacations in Covid times. Especially when purchasing season tickets abroad, it is important to first check which regulations apply when entering the country, and then which rules apply on site and whether vaccination or convalescence certificates or even tests must be presented or linked to the ski pass. If you want to be sure, you should also inform yourself about refund offers in case of a lockdown. As soon as everything is settled in advance, nothing stands in the way of a varied skiing vacation with one of the best ski passes in the Alps and nasty surprises can be avoided.
