Good news for UK based guests thinking of travelling out to do some mountaineering in Chamonix….Due to the UK government recent announcement there is very soon to be no quarantine required at either end of your holiday to France, assuming you are fully vaccinated and get negative Covid tests!
France joins Switzerland and Italy on the UK ‘amber’ travel list (details of the rules for amber list countries here) and we have suddenly had quite a number of enquiries for remaining course places accordingly.
