Guidelines for your safe visit in Arosa Lenzerheide
Face Coverings
What kind of face coverings are permitted for transport on the mountain railways?
✅ Hygienic mask / medical face mask (surgical mask, surgical mask)
When used correctly, such masks protect other people from infection. The masks are permissible.
✅ Industrially manufactured textile mask (community mask)
When used correctly, such masks protect other people from infection. The Swiss Nation COVID-19 Science Task Force has drawn up a recommendation which such textile masks must comply with. The masks according to this standard are permitted.
✅ Respiratory protection mask (Filtering face piece (FFP) or FFFP2 / FFFP3 mask)
These masks protect the wearer from solid and liquid particles and aerosols. Such masks are available to medical personnel for their work. These masks are permitted, but are not recommended by the FOPH for private use.
❌ Other masks (self-sewn mask, do-it-yourself mask, etc.)
Such masks do not provide reliable protection. These types of masks are NOT allowed.
❌ Scarf, cloth, visors
Scarves or shawls do not provide sufficient protection against infection and have only a limited foreign protective effect. They do not replace a mask. Visors protect the eyes from possible infection by droplets, but infection via the mouth or nose cannot be ruled out.
❌ Balaclavas
Balaclavas protect against the cold on the ski slope. They do not provide sufficient protection against infection and have only a limited protective effect. They do not replace a mask. These types of masks are NOT allowed.
