Covid Information

Current Situation

(updated: 4 October 2021)

All of my guiding activities including: walking, trekking, via ferrata, rock climbing, etc. are operating without restrictions.

Vaccination Status

I am fully vaccinated.

Bookings

Given the situation can change rapidly, I have updated my Terms & Conditions of Booking.

What happens if you can’t offer guiding due to Covid 19?

I will let you know as soon as I become aware of a change that means I can’t offer guiding either at all or for the specific type of guiding you have booked.

What sources of advice do you go on?

I adhere to the advice and directions of the French government. You should also take the advice or direction from your home country e.g. the United Kingdom’s Foreign & Commonwealth Office. See Travel Advice section below.

For more details or questions do not hesitate to contact me by email or using the contact form. You can of course telephone me on +33 (0)6.33.44.20.41. I am also available on FaceTime, WhatsApp and Skype.

Risk

I cannot guarantee that you will not run the risk of being infected by the virus. However I will use my best endeavours to minimise the risks.

Since, the majority of the time, we will be out of doors the risk of transmitting the virus in the open air is said to be extremely low.

Preventative Measures

Masks

You should have a mask with you.

Hand Sanitiser

Please bring hand sanitiser with you. There will be hand sanitiser available in my vehicle.

Accommodation

Mountain Refuges / Huts

The mountain refuges in France have put in place a range of measures in place to try and mitigate the risk of Covid.

Hotels

The hotels that I work with have all implemented measures to mitigate the risk of virus transmission.

Insurance

You should have suitable insurance in place that covers Covid. Should the Covid situation change you should allow for the possibility of having to delay your return or return earlier than planned. I will use my best endeavours to assist you. Please click here for possible insurers:
