Returned from Selva VG yesterday. Most of the lifties were super hot on FFP2 and being worn correctly. Like, get it right or get out of the queue/lift.

Nice little earner for the resorts with these “special” buffs at €10, €15, €20. My method was use my usual buff, pull it up if needed (barely ever) and carry a scruffy old surgical mask in my pocket in case of officiousness. Worked fine in the PDS.

@yorkshirelad, Been in Tignes for 9 days now. I have seen no evidence of that and not heard of it through the expat network, of which there are about 30 of us at the mo, that I know. Even the bars haven't seen anyone official for a while. I know lots of lifties and pisteurs out here. There's been no warnings or hints of this.

First day in Avoriaz today, and zero enforcement of mask wearing on the chairs (I didn’t bother getting one out as most others hadn’t either, and well, you know, we’re outdoors) .
Did encounter someone checking Covid passes in the lift queue for Tour at the bottom of Avoriaz, but it was quite a half hearted effort - had my phone out to proffer my pass before realising half the people were just carrying on past the lady with her iPad, so did the same.

Not fussed at all about what sort of masks you had in Les Arcs this weekend. Had my pass checked once, first lift.

Unsurprisingly stocks are little low at the moment but I've bought a couple of these buffs with additional filters which should practical and fit the bill too prior to my trip to the Alps.

We are in Les Saisies and on the lifts (all drag or chairs) a buff pulled up is fine. All eateries you have to scan the NHS or equivalent app.
Mask or buff on bus.
Interestingly, in Troyes on our stop over in the town centre you had to ware a mask even just walking around.

Skied in Mayrhofen over Christmas - FFP2 masks only worn on the gondolas. They weren't required on open chairs.
Skied in Saalbach Hinterglemm last week and FFP2 masks required on gondola's, bubbles and chairs. They were red hot enforcing it. I was caught going through a barrier for a chair lift, not having pulled my mask up fully before I went through the barrier and I was stopped going through the barrier, pulled to one side and warned my lift pass would be stopped if I was caught again.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

That would be nice. Is that France in general, or just specific areas? (I've tried searching for something official but can't find it.)

@shrew, France in general. Still required inside but believe surgical style is fine.

Thanks. I don't suppose you've got a link to an official announcement about that have you? Would like to send it to friends.

Here in la rosiere no one is wearing masks on lifts. Pass sanitaire is checked in most but not all restaurants. Masks are universally worn in shops.

Grand Massif last week - buffs up in gondolas, rarely on chairs was the general rule. No insistence on FFP2 standard. QR code spot checks on lift entrances. Almost all cafes / bars checked QR code. NHS version worked fine everywhere. Swiss or UK passenger locator form not checked, ditto French sworn statement. UK - Geneva - Grand Massif was our travel route.

@Kennyboyo, I thought it was either surgical or FFP2 thinking about bars/restaurants?

We got back from the 3 Vallees on Sunday. Our experience re masks was:
1) Lifts - occasionally someone would ask for you to put on a mask.
2) For lifts most people wore buffs and I didn't see anyone pulled up not not having a FF2P mask.
3) restaurants - they enforced the mask rul whilst moving around, but no whilst seated. A buff was fine in the ones we went to - The Rondy, The Taverne, Alti 16, La Fromagerie
4) Navette Buses - all ask and insist on a mask. Most bus drivers let you on with a Buff but we had one mask Nazi who refused to accept buffs.
They are working out that the whole FF2P mark requirement is a faff and great in principle but practically impossible to enforce.
