Open image gallery

Really good perspectives: A holiday in the Olympiaregion Seefeld is possible again

• Flexible cancellation conditions
• Uncomplicated testing facilities directly in Seefeld
• Best health care by five established physicians, three pharmacies and three hospitals in direct proximity
• Located just over the German border and only and two hours from Switzerland
• Comprehensive hygiene concepts at all accommodations and in the catering trade
• On average up to three soccer fields of space for each person in the region

Current rules

We are happy to list the most important points here:

• Exit restrictions around the clock.
• Lockdown: Retail, catering, cultural and event sectors will be closed. Detailed regulations on the hotel industry and leisure facilities are not yet available.

2-G rule:

RECOVERED:

• A certificate of recovery is valid for 180 days.
• A medical certificate is valid for 180 days after an expired infection with SARS-CoV-2. This must have been proven by molecular biology (e.g. PCR test).
• An official segregation order is also valid for 180 days.

VACCINATED:

• Immunisation by two partial vaccinations
• Immunisation by vaccination of convalescents
• Further vaccinations ("3rd dose")
• Green pass:
  • This is now valid for 9 months after the 2nd vaccination, after which a third vaccination (booster) is required.

The obligation to show a valid 2-G certificate does not apply to children up to the age of 12. Children therefore do not need their own Covid certificate to go to a restaurant with their parents. Children and young people of compulsory school age have access to restaurants and cinemas, for example, with their Ninja Pass.

General FFP2 mask obligation:

With the lockdown, a general FFP2 mask obligation comes into force in all closed rooms.

ENTRY INFORMATION

THINGS TO KNOW WHEN TRAVELING TO THE OLYMPIAREGION SEEFELD

WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ENTERING AUSTRIA?

• Entry from countries in Annex 1 (low incidence of infection): 3-G rule - vaccinated, recovered or tested persons may enter from a country in List A. The certificates must be written in German or English.

• Entry from countries listed in Annex 2 (virus variant countries) is generally prohibited and only possible for restricted groups of persons (e.g. Austrian citizens or EU citizens, etc.). These persons must present a negative molecular biological test result (PCR test), register for entry and immediately enter a ten-day quarantine, from which they can be released at the earliest 5 days after entry with a further molecular biological test. A quarantine exemption applies to special groups of persons (persons entering the country for professional reasons, family reasons, etc.).

• Entry from other countries not listed in Annex 1 and Annex 2: Here too, the 3-G rule applies, as well as entry registration and 10-day quarantine, free testing is possible after the 5th day. Quarantine and registration requirements do not apply to vaccinated persons (fully immunised & 14 days waiting period), regular commuters, persons entering the country for work or family reasons, etc.

WHAT IS IMPORTANT ON DEPARTURE?

Several European countries have already relaxed their restrictions for return travel. Return travel restrictions depend on the country of origin:

• Return journey of Austrian guests: From the Olympiaregion Seefeld, guests can return to their Austrian home town without any conditions.
• Return journey to Switzerland/Liechtenstein: No testing, registration or quarantine obligations apply for the return journey from Tyrol by land.
• Return journey to Germany: Those travelling by land from Austria to Germany do not have to show any corona-related entry restrictions, such as digital entry registration or 3 G proof.

The current positive test results in the Olympiaregion Seefeld (Seefeld, Leutasch, Scharnitz, Mösern and Reith) are continuously updated on the dashboard of the Tyrolean provincial government.
