The measures in force in the canton of Berne to contain the coronavirus will remain in force until 7 December 2020. This was decided by the cantonal government on the basis of epidemiological developments and the still high number of cases. The government hopes that in two to three weeks it will be able to relax measures to the federal level and thus give the population a perspective.
Bergbahnen Destination Gstaad AG (BDG) will be introducing additional measures next winter - in addition to the pandemic regulations issued by the authorities and the GastroSuisse protection concept for gastronomers: longer opening hours, a user guidance system with limited day tickets and a new online reservation system for mountain restaurants.
Hotel beds remain unusually empty, tables in restaurants are more sparsely occupied than usual – and as a consequence Laundry Gstaad is waiting for dirty laundry from hotels, catering establishments and private customers.
Only four people per table, curfew at 11pm and compulsory masks as soon as you walk around in the restaurant: The corona measures are drastic for the gastronomy. A small survey shows that many establishments that are open are hit hard.
