Outdoor pool restricts access to Swiss citizens amid violence

'for Swiss only'

SUMMARY

In Pruntrut, Switzerland, swimming pool access is now limited to Swiss nationals, residents, and those with Swiss work contracts due to reported misconduct by "visitors from France."

Over twenty people have been banned since the season began, comprising mainly "French nationals."

The local government cites safety and the need for a “peaceful, respectful” environment as the reasons for these restrictions. However, French cross-border workers and tourists with hotel cards can still access the pool.

This decision echoes past measures from 2020 when foreigners were also barred during the pandemic due to safety concerns.
