7 July 2020
From 10 July 2020, the tit-for-tat quarantine restrictions between England and France are lifted. England has designated 59 Air Bridge countries with no requirement to self-isolate on arrival in the UK. France, Italy and Switzerland are all Air Bridge countries, so no matter how you travel to Chamonix and return home, from 10 July, there is no obligation to quarantine or self-isolate. It's travel as usual and Chamonix is open for business!
