Key winter sports destinations Austria and Switzerland have announced plans to relax their Covid-19 rules.

Austria’s chancellor Karl Nehammer said the country’s government would drop most Covid-related measures from 5 March. Although some rules will be eased as soon as this weekend.

From Saturday (19 February), those using restaurants, hotels and ski lifts across Austria, except for Vienna, will be required to prove they are vaccinated, recovered from Covid or provide a negative PCR test, known as 3-G arrangements. 


Currently people using these services can only enter if they are fully vaccinated or recovered from Covid, known as 2-G.
