This will have an impact on ski season, no doubt.

If you can afford to go skiing in Switzerland, you can afford to pay for a Covid certificate! There are plenty of other skiing options in Europe.

But if you have a certificate from an EU country, like France, it should work in Switzerland. Right?

The article is behind a paywall. From what I could see, the cost is 30 Swiss Francs. That’s not a lot considering the cost of the trip.

Per the article excerpted below, the answer to your question is "yes".
"For those coming from EU/EFTA countries – or who have a Covid certificate/passport from one of these countries – they will not need to convert it when they arrive in Switzerland. "

I was in Zurich two weeks ago. Local pharmacies charge up to CHF 50 to convert a CDC vax card to a QR code.

30 SFR seems reasonable to me, though if I were planning a blitz trip through 3+ different countries I wouldn't be happy about the expense if every country established a fee at that level. I'm pretty sure the folks who've been posting about their frustrated efforts to get the France pass would be very happy if they could pay the equivalent of 30 SFR and be done with it. The free French pass is only useful if you can, you know, actually get one.
