From what I've read it's just the Ischgl area that's shut, and they have jumped on that really quickly (compared to other areas) so containment should be great.

THE TIROL SKI RESORTS ALL TO CLOSE DUE CORONAVIRUS

The announcement was made this evening and though expected is still a shock. Other ski resorts across the Alps are now considering following suit.

The winter ski season is over in the 90 odd resorts in the Tirol in Austria and likely everywhere else in the country.

Resorts in France and Switzerland will be looking at the implications for them.

In a short statement tonight Tirol Tourism said the lifts in all the resorts will close on Sunday 15th and the hotels and accommodation the following day, Monday 16th.

“The health of our guests, employees and those in the Tirol is our first priority.”

“It was a difficult decision.”

Further details will be given tomorrow morning.

Not meaning to be over dramatic; but...

French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe has ordered the closure of all non-essential public locations from midnight (23:00 GMT Saturday) in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

The measure applies to restaurants, cafes, cinemas and discos, as well as non-essential businesses.

No refunds on accommodation as we had picked the keys up.

tell me about it....Most ski resorts are on a saturday Transfer. If they kept resorts open until next saturday...the infrastructure is all in place to ferry everyone back. now all the businesses are suffering as they arent open... and its gonna cost loads more to get us out ...

THere is celarly a lack of preparation. Hundreds of french are stuck in Morocco, and they plan to close the border with GErmany tomorrow.

Here in PAris, people are bored ,and everything is closed (apart supermarkets etc)

Feel very lucky we were on a Sunday-Sunday week, so got home today with no issues.

Have to feel for everyone that arrived yesterday though, and are sat there looking at empty slopes under a bluebird sky....

Looks like thats the end of the ski season, won't be any more in March for sure. Today they have stated that lots of transport systems are going to be cut back next week and plus borders being closed. They want everyone to stay inside for at least 2 weeks so definitely no point in trying to get to France or Spain or Germany just to stay inside a small hotel room or ski lodge.

Same for us..our sympathies to all those who got all the way there on Saturday only for it to get closed overnight - not nice at all...

Any chance your travel insurance will cover it?

We have had it confirmed that it lift passes are being refunded. Managed to change our Eurotunnel booking but will be trying to claim Eurotunnel back as we wouldn't have come if we had known and claim back appt costs. Fingers crossed we get it back.

Just got back. At least we had a week out there so got some skiing in, but ridiculous the way it was all shut down at such short notice.

Unfortunately, unlikely as they will claim "unforeseeable circumstance or event" , although it was questioned the day before as loads of resorts had closed! They not answering emails, or phone....lol

Hope to at least get ski passes, ski hire and tuition back.

Most resorts seem OK about refunding lift passes. For future reference there is a good system called “ski a la carte”, so you don’t have to pay up front.

Not really. You break even in about 5 or 6 days, and if you ski a couple of weeks it really saves money. Plus, if the weather or snow is really bad you don't pay your pass for that day.

A lot of Questions being asked about the Kitzloch bar in Ischgl, and it’s potential role about virus spread. Looks like beer pong isn’t a good game to place during a pandemic

I heard something about this, need to go off and Google....

Though I suspect any half-decent apres bar would have been a melting pot of all sorts of nastyness, not just CV19!!

Anyone thinking ahead to next winter yet? We are hoping the lifts will be open and we’ll be able to have guests at the chalet x
