First time poster, I would appreciate some information. Going for a week to Les 2 Alpes, already bought the ski pass, reserved the accomodation, etc... I planned to do antigen tests everyday for PS since I have 2 Szputnyiks, as in early 2021 my country only had these types of vaccine. "Fortunately" the EU still didn't accept it, so I don't have a valid health pass. This new regulation- that PS can only be achieved by EU accepted vaccination- really makes things bad for me, as I can't use any skilifts even by testing every day. I already took a Janssen but it is only valid after 28 days, so it doesn't count. My question is about secqurity. If I have a generous friend's valid PS, is there a way to go around the checks with it? Do they require id or something along with the PS or they just beep it with an application and check if the given qr code is valid? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone actually check your ID with your Pass Sanitaire? Don’t want my teenagers taking their passport skiing to prove their ID!

In Tignes before Xmas my COVID pass was generally just scanned. However, in one restaurant on the first day the Gendarme came through checking COVID passes and they wanted to see matching ID.

They simply scanned mine. But wouldn’t want to risk it.
Also for teenagers. Take a pic of their passport and laminate. Tbh I didn’t carry mine or any ID.

In La Plagne today COVID Pass was scanned at two chairlifts. Is scanned at all bars/restaurants. No form of ID requested. I carry laminated NHS COVID pass and works fine and saves getting phone out.

Looking at the recent posts, is there any reason to have the Pass Sanitaire app in France over and above the NHS App? Les Angles in the Pyrenees says 'Pass Sanitare Obligatoire' on its website but would it scan the NHS App QR in the same way?

The QR code in the NHS app can be scanned fine, but the disadvantage of relying on the NHS app is that it only works when you've got data. Saving a copy of the pdf out of the app should work, though.

I'm at the 3 Valleys and whilst restaurants checked and scanned the app, I wasn't checked at the lifts, only for the face mask

The QR code is identical whether it’s in the NHS COVID App or after you’ve scanned it into the TousAntiCovid app. Either will do but having a downloaded pdf copy or a screenshot in Photos works fine and doesn’t require data/signal. A printed laminated copy is even easier to get out of your pocket. Someone suggested sticking it to your helmet!

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

Cheers that's good to year, I think on the iPhone I can import it into the Apple Wallet to use offline which would be helpful as a failsafe too.

Just arrived back from Les 2 Alpes. The security was really light, they only asked for PS at skilifts once, and they didn't ask for any id. The restaurants might ask for a PS but they don't check id neither. I was doing 6 days of ski with a friends PS and had 0 troubles.

You know it makes sense.

You don't need data if you screenshot the NHS QR code.

So far this season only had PS checked once on lifts, right at the start of the season.
Not been checked since around December 6th.
I know the thread is about FRANCE and LIFTS, but FWIW the Swiss lifties didn't check either.

Just back from 2 weeks in the 3 Valleys. QR code and ID checked when picking up prepaid ski-pass. QR code only checked 5 times during 11 days on the slopes and in 8 out of 10 restaurants, including outside seating. Face masks enforced by some lifties, more often in queues for goldolas than chairs. Mask adherence was pretty good in goldolas, less so on chairs. I had no issues with any of the restrictions, we were all triple jagged and just delighted to have been back on the slopes again.

Our experience was similar. Is all a bit random so I guess be a boy scout and be prepared!

In France you need some kind of authority to be allowed to check IDs - contrary to, say, Switzerland where your ID is checked alongside your health pass when going to the library. So restaurants, bars, lifts - none will check.
That leads to idiots using shared (but valid) vaccine passes though...
Last weekend my phone died and I panicked at the idea of not enjoying a pint after a good day on the slopes. I negotiated my way, but lesson learnt, I'll print the damn QR.

Happened to me too, in a restaurant when I forgot my phone. But wifey and I made a 'ski 22' WA group, and all the docs were copied to it, inc our TAC booster QRs. Saved me a mile walk round trip to get my phone.

Which NHS pass are people showing or getting scanned? Is the 3rd vaccine QR code or the UK QR code ?
I ve just installed that Tous… app, but I fear it might be a repeat of the nhs Covid app where you can get pinged from someone being in the next door appartment

TAC VERIF is no longer validating my NHS second dose qr code but is fine with my NHS booster qr code. I.e. present your booster NHS qr code…
On the Tous app you can deactivate your proximity alert.
