It's almost time: the last information before you leave!

FRANCE

Up-to-date information before departure
Although we try our best to always show you the latest information, the info on this page may be out of date. We accept no liability as a result of inaccuracies and/or outdated information. We advise you to always check the current travel advice from your country to France before you leave and don't forget to check the current COVID-19 measures at your destination and the latest information about the COVID-19 certificate (called 'Passe Sanitaire' in France).

The good news
As of February 2, you won't have to wear a mouth mask outside anymore and as of February 16, you won't have to stay seated in pubs anymore and nightclubs will open again too!

Entry regulations
Everyone aged 12 and over is required to have a 3G certificate and to fill out and bring a sworn statement. Make sure to also check the travel advice that your home country issued for France. Travelers from the UK can check the latest entry requirements for traveling to France here.

2G certificate
Since January 24, 2022, France has switched to a 2G policy. This means that anyone 16 years and older needs a 2G permit (vaccinated or recovered) to access places that are publicly accessible, including ski lifts, restaurants, bars and shopping centers. Children 12 years + 2 months through 15 years old can still use the 3G policy (vaccinated, recovered or tested) for these facilities. Children under the age of 12 years and 2 months do not need to provide proof for access to facilities.

Please note, that not having a valid COVID-19 pass (called 'passe sanitaire' in France) is not a valid reason to cancel your ski holiday free of charge. Travelers are responsible for having the necessary documents, such as a valid passport or - where permitted - an identity card, and any required visas, proof of inoculations and vaccinations. Have you booked your ski holiday to France? Then you will have to make your own decision whether to continue or cancel the trip. Keep in mind that there are cancellation periods and associated cancellation fees.

The basic measures
- Wear your face mask on public transport, in ski lifts, inside public places, when waiting in line and in other crowded places. As of February 2, the mouth mask is no longer mandatory outside.
- Gloves off? Wash your hands regularly or use disinfectant gel.
- Keep 1 meter distance from others.

COVID-19 testing in ski areas
Testing is possible at most ski resorts. Costs for testing are at your own expense and may vary by location. On this page (published on our Dutch website) you will find the testing locations and COVID-19 measures for each destination, as soon as they are made public.

Additional point to note
In France, for anyone 18 years + 1 month old, the validity of the vaccination certificate expires with vaccinations older than 7 months. In the case of the Janssen vaccine, the validity expires after only 2 months. As of February 15, the deadline of 7 months will be reduced to 4 months. After these dates, a booster shot is required, except for children aged 16 and 17 who have been vaccinated twice: their vaccination certificate remains valid without a booster shot.
