Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

Masks types acceptable in French resorts

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi all , probably been asked already but I’ve found nothing concrete yet .

Are Buffs etc still acceptable in french resorts ?
This was the case when we went last August but I’m reading conflicting information.
Thanks in advance

When getting on a main gondola the answer is a little grey, the rest of the time a buff is fine. At least in the Haute Savoie.

advice from La Plagne
La Plagne have sent out this e mail just now

If you have any questions about the health situation in La Plagne, (almost) all the answers are here!
https://social-sb.com/mm/3bpzolxtaz4ttu?

In La Plagne masks have to be worn in the streets in buildings in lift queues and in Gondolas. Buffs (especially La Plagne branded and Govt. approved €10 in all lift offices) seem to be accepted but in shops and bars in villages (whilst waiting for QR to be checked) people are wearing standard NHS type masks.
On piste bars are happy for you to where buffs until QR checked then you can take it off.

@Eagerly waiting, Its French Government Guidance so will apply in all resorts - theres a link to the French Gov. website.

Bear in mind you are coming to a country that will probably have twice the rate of UK infections by next week! So you need to be protecting yourself from the French not vice versa Shocked

This.

I'm sure there's some variability but we've just been wearing buffs going up the telecabine to Brevent and Les Houches, and frankly, ignoring them on chairs.

And the prefectural arrete mandating masks in the street in Chamonix is being widely ignored - maybe 50-60% compliance?

@under a new name, Yep, I can't see a need on a chair either, if there is a queue to get on yes but once on the chair in the open air it comes straight off!
Compliance on the street here is 90% and you get glared at if you are not wearing it - mostly by the older generation.

@boredsurfin, oddly, it's mostly the older generation not wearing them here. Tbh, I don't see any effectiveness of a mask out of doors, queue or not, nor do I see the effectiveness of putting one on to enter the pub and straight off again, 2 minutes later as you sit down and shout your order across the room to the bar staff.

Contagion theatre.

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

@Eagerly waiting, i was at Xmas. Most people were in masks but some in buffs. Les Gets sells an approved one in thr TO. You also need to wear them on the main streets and there were security asking people to put them on in Morzine on two days.

 So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

@Nadenoodlee, I heard last year the Morzine gendarmerie gave up enforcing them? Anyway, precious little enforcement going on in Cham, the few times I've been in town.

Last week en Les Arcs, I am confident that they would have approved toiletpaper - 8 out of 9 persons tested positive when we got back home, but fortunately it was Omikron, so basically the flu for us younger persons under 50.
