Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

What is the current situation regarding travel to Austria

A whole lot of stress just melted off me. Things could still change before my holiday but it seems unlikely now.

Yes - off next Thursday and PCR is such a crap shoot. Big relief. CANNOT WAIT TO GET ON THE SNOW.

Amazing news! We were flying out on 4th Feb and the anxiety surrounding PCR test results, despite being triple jabbed, was putting such a dampener on the holiday.

This is great news as we’re due to go to Lech on 29th Very Happy , but why are they still referencing the 120 days between second jab and booster on the official sites??? I know there’s been lots of discussion of this on this thread that it’s not an issue but it’s still making my son a bit nervous (he’s only 91 days)!

Maybe because the 120 days is going to remain?

"From 24 January, the UK is no longer classified as a virus variant region in Austria. Double-jabbed or recovered travellers can enter the country with a PCR test (valid 72 hours) OR proof of a booster jab (received at least 120 days after the second shot). Proof of recovery (within the past 180 days) also counts as a booster. "

Welcome to snowHeads snowHead

I do assure you that Austrian border control/authorities are not at all interested in the time between the second vaccination and the third (booster). They just look at the confirmation that the third jab has been received. Nothing else (in regard to vaccination).

Oh well - I'm off this Saturday.
Was so worried PCR would get lost or be inconclusive - I've done x2 - yes x2!
One by Randox drop box and one in clinic - yes so OTT I know - but no 3 hour PCR near me - hopefully x1 back by 1pm and the other 10pm tomorrow.
My theory - I cant be that unlucky and have 2 go missing

No thanks wink I’d rather be out skiing on the snow, rather than clearing it… Laughing

Seriously though, after this storm, it looks (at the moment) that another one is on its way. Just a little too soon to be sure.

I’d be very surprised if not…it’s a national pastime….errrr, I mean brand…

A lot of bars sell it and it’s common in the supermarkets. Mind you, (and in my opinion), most Austrian beers are quite drinkable Toofy Grin

Ninja Pass? To any resident lawyers... I was hesitant about this because there were three chances to get quarantined. Am I right in assuming my 12 year old doesn't need it now. He got Covid in November and has recovered, so if he PCRs for entry I think(??) thats all he needs, so no Ninja?

Rules for children and teenagers
Children under 12 years are currently exempt from the „2-G” rule (exemption: In Vienna, children from the age of 6 require an entry test).
Teenagers (12 or over and born on or after 1 September 2006) who are not fully vaccinated or have not recovered from Covid, can obtain "2-G" status with the so-called "Holiday Ninja Pass". Regular testing is needed as well as documenting the results in the pass. Please check out the Holiday Ninja Pass FAQ and download the English version of the pass here. Teenagers who are double-jabbed can simply use their vaccination proof.
For teenagers born before 1 September 2006, the “2-G” rule applies.

But what counts as Fully Vaccinated for 12-15 in Austria ? two or three shots ?

Does this rule change mean people entering Austria from the UK without a PCR test don’t have to quarantine providing they have a booster vaccine? (Instead of needing a negative PCR on top as they do currently).

Or is it ‘you can enter without a PCR but still have to quarantine'?
