 Poster: A snowHead
|
So I’ve booked a birthday holiday trip for my father to Austria Zell Am See mid March. But reading here every day is slightly worrying that things may be the same come March.
Considering switching to Switzerland as it’ll cost approx the same price for flights but just a little more expensive for accommodation and probably lift passes I’m guessing? Switzerland seems like the safe option but I’ve only ever been to France, Austria & Bulgaria before, I’m guessing Switzerland is a lot more expensive?
I know there’s no guarantees but what do you guys think and what places in Switzerland would you recommend for mid March?
Thanks

I would wait, unless you are all vaccinated or have immunity it is going to be difficult to judge which country will be open/be safest in more then 3 months time. Both Austria and Switzerland currently have new case rates at least twice that of the UK to put it into perspective. Austria have now tightened their response to covid and skiing, Switzerland is chasing the money and seems happy to let it rip in gondolas etc. Only time will tell which of the Alpine nations are right by spring. Those being cavalier now may well be back in lockdown, those that are being careful now may enjoy a good second half of the season.
Speaking to folks in France, a lot of business are happy that they are waiting tillJanuary, they were really fearing opening and then having to close.
Whatever happens, there will be plenty of accommodation available.

I think the one thing you can guarantee is that everything will be different again come March! Whether that will be for the good or bad no-one knows. Decisions are being made based on current data for the next couple of weeks. In a few weeks new decisions will be made based on the data then, and could go either way.

We are going to book flights for Easter. If we fail to travel we can put them to 2021-22 or Summer 2021.
I would hold for now.

@nba2005uk, 2 weeks booked provisionally for March Austria but booking no travel, nor paying deposits, it's be great but not confident, if it happens it'll be a bonus. Cancelled our end January trips.
