Vaccine pass - Covid-19 Val Thorens

The Prime Minister, Jean Castex, has announced the end of the vaccine pass "wherever it applies", as of 14 March. This date will also mark the end of the compulsory wearing of masks "in all places where it is still in force", with the exception of public transport, "given the promiscuity".

The vaccine pass will therefore no longer be compulsory to access restaurants, bars and activities.

Subject to the provisions of the forthcoming decree, here is what will change in the ski lifts on March 14, 2022:

• The vaccine pass will no longer be required to access to ski lifts.
• The good practices of barrier gestures will remain in force.
• The wearing of a mask will no longer be mandatory in any place except for all public transportation, i.e:
  • Wearing a mask is mandatory to access closed ski lifts (gondolas, funitels, cable cars);
  • Wearing a mask is recommended in all other situations, especially for positive persons and contact cases at risk.
