Confused about what docs I need to go skiing in France via Geneva

I'm probably being thick but I can't seem to work out what I need to travel to France via Geneva

Can anyone know has just done the same journey or is going soon, let me know?

I’ve just flown to Geneva but we then went on to Italy so can help with the Geneva part! You don’t need to fill in any forms or do any tests for Switzerland. We had to fill in the EU digital form for Italy which I believe you do for France too.
We had to do LFT for Italy. Nobody checked these. Had to show vaccinations on check in.
Nobody checked the EU digital form either.

My understanding is that you no longer need to show a negative Covid test to travel to France or Switzerland, but you do need to show proof of being fully vaccinated (which may require you to have had a booster depending on how long ago your second jab was).

Switzerland entry requirements here. I think key point is that proof of vaccination can't be a screenshot or a photo.

Looks like for France you may still need a signed declaration that you haven't been in recent contact with a confirmed Covid case etc. I think these are rarely checked in practice, but better safe than sorry!

Note that to do practically anything in France (including using ski lifts) you need to be able to provide proof of being fully vaccinated. French do this by uploading proof of vaccination on to the "Tous anti-Covid" app, though I understand for foreigners many places are happy to just scan your QR code showing proof of vaccination. NB For vaccination pass purposes, "fully vaccinated" generally requires a booster, though the rules vary a bit if you can show proof of having had Covid.
