Travelling to France

If you are fully vaccinated or have recently recovered from Covid, you are free to travel from England to France without a pre-travel Covid test as you have the documentation listed below. All children under 12 are exempt from all COVID-19 travel restrictions. For travellers aged 18 and over, France will recognise you as ‘vaccinated’ for entry purposes if you completed your initial vaccine course within the last 9 months. If more than 9 months have elapsed since your initial course, and you did not have a booster in that 9-month period, you will be considered as unvaccinated and must produce a negative pcr or antigen test.
From 31 March 2022, unvaccinated persons need to provide a negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours or an antigen test result taken within 48 hours of departure. There is no longer a compelling reason needed to travel to France.

Additional Useful Information



Mask Wearing The requirement for face masks is no longer mandatory indoors but will still be required on public transport which includes ski lifts. For customers travelling on Jet 2 flights, the airline relaxed its Covid-19 rule on March 1, advising passengers flying to and from airports in England that wearing a mask is no longer mandatory. However, this is a personal choice and you may feel more comfortable to wear a mask. Other flight operators may still request the use of face masks.

Travel Insurance is essential. You must have adequate insurance for your ski holiday to include covid cover. Ski Beat does not sell travel insurance but it is widely available.

EHIC or GHIC card Please ensure that you have an in date card and bring with you on holidays.

Valid Passport Please ensure that your passport is valid and has at least 3 months validity on the date you return to the UK.
