The ongoing corona crisis has forced the closure of ski resorts in France and Switzerland leaving many people facing an anxious journey home.
Verbier issued the following statement “Due to the evolution of the situation linked to coronavirus and in order to protect customers staff and those they meet the municipal authorities strongly recommend the immediate closure of all public establishments and shops in Verbier with the exception of pharmacies, food stores, banks petrol stations and kiosks”
There are currently over 30,000 British tourists at ski resorts in France. On Saturday evening, resorts were closed as plans began to be put in place to get people home. This situation is ongoing and will hopefully become clearer later today.
