Ski holidays 'under threat' as Italy tightens Covid rules

Italy has tightened its domestic Covid-19 restrictions, which could impact ski holidays this winter.

The ski market should benefit from the easing of restrictions in Austria and Switzerland

On Monday (10 January), the country’s "super green pass" requirement was extended to a range of additional venues, including hotels, public transport, outdoor and indoor hospitality, museums, cultural spaces and festivals.

The pass, which can only be obtained with evidence of full vaccination or recent recovery, is also a requirement to access ski lifts and ski resorts.

This means a negative test is no longer sufficient for unvaccinated travellers to ski in Italy.

Meanwhile, bookings for ski holidays to Austria and Switzerland have reportedly increased as France remains off limits to British tourists.
