Hello,

My wife and I are from Canada (which is on the countries that the restrictions on non-essential travel into the EU was lifted). However, I am still unsure if we are allowed to enter the country for non-essential purposes and able to hike, etc. without a mandatory quarantine.

If anyone has an additional insight on this that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan, welcome to MySwissAlps!

Yes, travelers from Canada can enter Switzerland without restrictions and without quarantine. You’ll find updates in this forum thread: http://www.myswissalps.com/forum/topic/does-the-corona-virus-affect-trips-to-switzerland. One of the official sources we link to from this thread is http://www.bag.admin.ch/bag/en/home/krankheiten/ausbrueche-epidemien-pandemien/aktuelle-ausbrueche-epidemien/novel-cov/empfehlungen-fuer-reisende.html#-722912562, where Canada is explicitly mentioned as a country for which quarantine rules or the advice to avoid unnecessary travels do not apply.

I hope this answers your question. If you have any further questions about your trip to Switzerland, please let us know, we’re happy to help!
