Winter protection measures

Valbianca SA announces that the opening, initially scheduled for Saturday, December 11, has been postponed to a date to be determined due to the snowfall still insufficient to allow optimal snow conditions.

Given the delicate health situation in which we still find ourselves, we will continue our efforts to implement protective measures to counter the spread of Covid-19, paying particular attention to ensuring a quality offer to all winter sports enthusiasts and their different needs, doing everything possible to make everyone comfortable.

Protection measures in force in the area

Contrary to last year's situation, it is no longer necessary to make a reservation for the cable car. As required by the federal directives and by Funivie Svizzere, most of the other protective measures remain in force, in particular the respect of the increased hygienic norms, as well as the obligation to wear a mask (from 12 years old) in the departure area of the cable cars, in the internal and external waiting areas, on the cable cars, in all internal buildings and where it is not possible to guarantee the social distances (i.e. queues at the lifts).

Quality gastronomic offer attentive to different needs    

For gastronomy the protection plans of Gastrosuisse and the rules issued by the Federal Council are valid: covid certificate compulsory for people over 16 years old inside restaurants. For those who consume outside, the certificate is not required but they will have to wear a mask if they go inside the buildings or in the internal spaces accessible to the public.
The access to La Stüa and to the self-service restaurant "La Sala" will be allowed only upon presentation of a valid covid certificate. In Ravina, at La Chièuna and on the terrace of La Stüa it will be possible to eat outside for those who are not in possession of a covid certificate.

Introduction of the "2G" concept at Chièuna

In order to make the visit to Airolo more pleasant for our affectionate customers, we have decided that inside the bar "La Chièuna" the "2G" concept will be applied. This means that only vaccinated or healed people will be allowed to enter. Thanks to this decision, inside La Chièuna there will be no obligation to wear a mask or to consume drinks and food while seated. The 2G concept applies to people aged 16 and over.

All applicable regulations and protective measures are indicated and constantly updated on this page.
