Winter 2021/22

Can I book a ski holiday for Winter 2021/22?

Yes! After a long and enforced absence from the sport we love, we know just how keen skiers are to return to the slopes and know everyone could also do with having something to look forward to. Even better, you can book with absolute confidence and remember, if we’re unable to operate your holiday you can move to another date or claim a refund*.

* If you switch your holiday to an alternative date, if the price of the new holiday is cheaper, we will refund the difference. If the price of the new holiday is more expensive you will need to pay the difference.

 

Will the season definitely go ahead?

We fully expect our season to go ahead. We’re constantly reviewing the latest advice from the UK government, along with the updates from Italy and the Aosta Valley. You can book with confidence as if things change and we can’t operate your holiday, you can switch to another date or claim a refund*.

* If you switch your holiday to an alternative date, if the price of the new holiday is cheaper, we will refund the difference. If the price of the new holiday is more expensive you will need to pay the difference.

 

Entry into Italy and the UK?

Please visit https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/italy for the latest information. Although we are happy to provide advice to the best of our ability, please note it is ultimately your responsibility to understand and follow the requirements as only you know your own individual circumstances.

 

And what about returning to the UK?

The entry requirements for each of the home nations can vary so you will need to visit the relevant government website page for where you live. Please visit https://www.gov.uk/uk-border-control for more information.

 

Is my money safe if I book with Interski?

We're an ABTA member and hold an ATOL licence which provides 100% financial protection. As a further reassurance, we’ve been around since 1978 and have built ourselves a brilliant reputation for providing skiers with unrivalled customer service and great value ski holidays.

 

Do you provide travel insurance?

Until recently, we included travel insurance with all of our holidays. Unfortunately, in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic many insurers withdrew from the travel market altogether which meant we were no longer able to offer an inclusive product. However, the travel insurance market is starting to return and there are many policies available, including cover for Covid related events. Under FCA rules we are unable to provide any advice on insurance but recommend you carefully scrutinise any policy to ensure it provides the cover you need.

Please note, it is a requirement of our booking terms and conditions that you have adequate insurance in place.

 

Will I need to show proof of vaccination in order to enter certain venues?

A 'green' pass, also known as the EU digital Covid certificate, is required to access many venues. The NHS Covid pass, available by downloading and registering on the app is accepted for this purpose.

 

What happens if I test positive for Covid whilst in Italy?

You will need to notify the local authorities, through either your test or accommodation provider for further advice, as well as notifying your travel insurer. Our team in resort will do our best to support you.

 

What happens if I test positive on my return to the UK?

Once you have returned to the UK, should you test positive for Covid you will need to follow the NHS protocols in place at that time.

 

Where can I get a Covid test for travel purposes?

There are many private test providers online who can supply tests that meet the necessary criteria. We recommend CHB Medical and can provide you with a 20% discount code - please email us at goskiing@interskiholidays.co.uk
