Health & vaccines
- No vaccine is required to enter: just make sure your routine vaccines are up to date.
- Tap water is safe to drink. Fountains in towns often have drinkable water too.
- Healthcare is excellent but very expensive: travel insurance is essential.
- In the mountains, check the weather and avalanche bulletin, and never go off-piste without the right gear.
