Hundreds of British winter sports enthusiasts flee Swiss quarantine | Abroad

Of the more than 400 Britons, only a few were left on Sunday, said a spokesman for the municipality of Bagnes, of which Verbier is a part. “Families with small children were suddenly stuck in 20 square meters. That was impossible. ”

Some British winter sports enthusiasts took refuge in France, where the pistes are closed but they can move freely.

For the hotels in Verbier, the departure of the British means a blow. Many Swiss also canceled their holiday at the resort, for fear of the possibly infected British skiers.
