With the 20/21 Verbier ski season tantalisingly close, we would like to bring you the very latest covid-19 related news from Verbier and Le Châble. Amongst all the uncertainty that the coronavirus pandemic has brought about, there is some encouraging news coming out of Verbier, in relation to the always eagerly anticipated ski season.
The ski resort of Verbier will officially open at the beginning of December, with more tourists expected to enter the resort around the middle of December. In this update, we bring you details about the forthcoming ski season and provide some information on the Verbier holiday rentals and affordable Verbier seasonal rentals that we have available.
The first thing to note is that Téléverbier, the company that runs the extensive network of ski lifts in Verbier, has announced its plans for the 20/21 season. Having obtained the ‘Clean and Safe’ accreditation from Swiss Tourism, the company will be helping skiers get about under new covid-19 guidelines.
As a real hub for allowing guests and seasonaires to enjoy the gloriousness of Verbier, this announcement has obviously been welcomed by all. Here are some details to the ski lift guidelines set out by Téléverbier in 2020:
Depending on snow conditions, ski lifts in the Verbier region will be running on weekends from November 7th 2020. With regards to Savoleyres, ski lifts in this region are expected to open on December 12th 2020. Ski lifts in the Bruson area will open from December 19th 2020.
As part of their announcement Téléverbier said: “Our staff is doing its best to develop plans and protocols aiming to limit the spread of COVID-19. We are working on these rules so we can meet the requirements and offer you an excellent stay and experience in our resort for the upcoming winter season.”
If you are coming to Verbier for the 20/21 ski season and have yet to buy your ski pass, they are available to buy today from Easy Verbier. There will be pro-rata pass reimbursements should the government issue new guideline rulings surrounding isolating, quarantining and resort closure measures – be sure to double check this for confirmation when purchasing your ski pass.
At this moment in time, some types of establishments in Verbier – such as, restaurants, leisure centres etc – are open and operating under new covid-19 guidelines. In a restaurant, for example, you are required to wear a mask at all times when not sitting at your table. There is a maximum of four people allowed on any table and each restaurant has to be shut by 10pm.
These establishments have obviously set out their stall in terms of distancing as well, rearranging furniture and other features to suit requirements. With regards to bars, all bars in Verbier are shut until at least 30th October 2020. By this date, there will be an update from the Swiss Government, letting us know if bars can re-open and informing us of the situation moving forward.
