Needs to be in the green for me, it's the variants is the problem, if they get load of them then it's amber at least. I can travel back through Ireland but they have France in the red at present..

I don’t think it will be possible for us as you’ll need both Jabs and that not gunna happen before July plus 2 tests per person ££ plus quarantine on return plus France is not in a good place with the virus atm ! IMO a ride trip around the Uk sounds a lot more appealing!

Being an "older" gentleman I should have both my jabs well before July. However others in my party may not. There is still so much that can change and so much that is out of our control. How would flying into Geneva affect the travel? Would it be counted as Switzerland?

Yes Geneva is Switzerland, so it will have to be green if flying more than France as could try to blag you stayed in it not France.. Switzerland could put up border restrictions to France too so something else to look out for. My 2nd jab due 3weeks today..

Whilst things do seem a little more hopeful at face value, I remain pessimistic based on jab requirements and any sort of isolation periods required.

Yeah I guess that PCR tests and associated costs are just the price of travelling anywhere in 2021.

I've heard from quite a few people that travel between France & Switzerland is no trouble at all, even during the strictest periods.

I'd have to agree with 8+ weeks till the very start of the season, theres still so much that can change for good or for bad. When the borders etc opened up last year it was so busy in Morzine and almost impossible to find any accommodation. Book through Bike Morzine and you've either get a holiday or a refund - WIN/WIN in my opinion!

I'm 48 and got my jab dates last week, first one is 30th April (could have got it sooner but wanted a Friday incase of side effects), then 2nd is 16th July. The wait from 50+ to 45+ was about 6 weeks

You should live in Wales. I know a lad that's 23, fit and healthy and is having his first jab next Friday. I'm 44 and had mine over 2 weeks ago. Wales is finally good at something

Don't mention the Rugby! Well, I'm 44 too and supposed to get the first jab sometimes from mid-june... which is probably not very good news for this topic (as I live in Morzine)! Let's keep our fingers crossed, we could really do with your visit

Blame Scotland for the rugby

We (me,wife and 5 year old) might of come this but the other family we normally come down with don't want to risk it.

France will allow tourists from June 9th, with a Health Pass. The Health Pass will show either a vaccination date, a negative test or proof of having had Covid and therefore antibodies. The French haven't released much information on it yet, other than it'll be called a Pass Sanitaire, it will be required for international travel and for entrance into large events.

The lifts are all scheduled to open on time, that's less than a month from today for weekends only in Les Gets, Super Morzine and Pleney weekends from June 12th. Pleney and Les Gets full time from the 18th June and then everything opens full time on June 25th.

The only thing we are waiting on now is hot the government will list France when they announce which countries go green, amber or red, on May 7th. France isn't being talked about as green at the moment. It could well go to amber. Renewed every month, the figures should start to come down in France in time for an awesome summer.

Any questions fire them over, even if you're not staying with us, if we can help we will.

Thanks for the updates, much appreciated, although I'm not staying with you this year as my dates didn't marry up with your spaces.

Would you guys know if or how flying into Geneva which is Switzerland would affect anything? Is it the airport that is important? Where you are staying? Would it complicate things going from Swiss to French territory? Would there be extra checks on Swiss/French border?
