 Poster: A snowHead
|
The MBU lift pass includes a day or two across the border in Courmayeur. Italy require a clean PCR test last time I looked.
Does anyone know how that's working out for Chamonix day-trippers?
We're going to be in Chamonix next week and wondering whether there's any benefit in the MBU pass rather than the Chamonix pass.

@jrussell88, we’re just back from 2 weeks in Chamonix. Had MBU pass. Heard of UK folk nipping through the tunnel with no issues but AFAIK only those who are local residents or with access to locally registered cars. We didn’t have the nerve to drive through with UK plates, in case of issues on return. I reckon the bus would be a good option as you’re less likely to be spotted, but it didn’t work for us.

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

Thanks, that's rather what I suspected.
Be good to hear if anyone else has recent experience.

Is there still a free bus from the station for day trippers?

Hasn't been free in many years.

But still a bus timed for day trippers? Don’t mind paying but don’t want to drive

You can go through to Courmayeur for the day without needing to present a -ve test in a private vehicle. There is an exemption in the rules which says that if your stay in Italy is less than 36 hours there is no requirement to show a test.
You are required to file an online EUPLF before going through the tunnel.
