 Poster: A snowHead

Thinking about Sesteire with 2 teens.
How is the 48h regular testing going? Simply go to pharmacy and queue for 3 hours? Do you eventually get the pass you need so they can ski? Is everything in Italian so tricky for English speakers???
Like many - desperate to go.

Our Crystal ski holiday to Cervinia on the 26th Dec is now cancelled as Italy just changed rules for teens. They were accepting the NHS emails showing proof of covid, now only a QR will suffice.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Is there anyone currently in Italy who can confirm what is happening? We are due to go to Sestriere on 26th too and have a teen in our party - currently armed with proof of covid in august and recovery letter from doctors… in the UK not possible to get a QR code?! Most ‘official’ sites just state proof of recovery? Panicking just a little - does this mean they can’t even get the green pass in a white zone?

We returned from cervinia on 23rd with two teenagers. They accepted NHS email showing positive test as proof of recovery in ticket office. Not questioned once entering lifts on any of the 6 days.
Not sure whether that still stands, we did notice more signs re green pass last two days,
Good luck it’s a gamble either way

It's crazy to think my teen is disadvantaged by no catching covid. Only having one shot in them sounds like even buying a pass will be a challenge

I am in the same situation and reading all the guidance. i am interpreting it that they can get green pass, which is all that is required for "white zone" areas of italy (Aosta region is white zone) by 48 hr testing. they cant get a super green pass without double vax, however at present only a standard green pass is required for places like Cervinia. I am happy to be corrected however I am finding that the italian info is fairly clear and easy to understand , unlike the austrian info. they even have a questionnaire you can complete to guide you through the requirements for entry to the country. Next I need to understand how to source 48hr testing as dont want to be in a pharmacy queue for hours !

We are in La Thuile at the moment. Both my teens have the covid pass letter and we code. As I understand, can't travel on the mountain gondola without it. They are checking and issuing wristbands. Also all restaurants cafes are checking the green pass.
I've passed the pharmacy a few times and I've never seen a queue.

We are due to fly out to Italy on Monday. Our 13YO is double jabbed but we havent yet received the letter & QR code from the NHS to prove it (fingers crossed it arrives tomorrow). We have a print out from the doctors showing he has received both vaccinations and have it linked to my wifes NHS app, but no QR code!
Crystal have recommened we re-arrange unless we have the QR code. We'r in a real dilema what to do, do we risk it or not!
Hearing other peoples experiences would be really helpful.

There are going to be changes in Italy from the 10th of January, I am not 100% sure but I think u can only ski if u can get the super green pass, ie the 48 hr test will not suffice.
