No, you just require a vaccination certificate, stating the traveler has been fully vaccinated at least 14 and at most 270 days before arrival

Sounds legit, it's an official Austrian Tourism website. Also, on gov't law website: https://bit.ly/3lc2afX  - There is a clause /exception: Special rules apply to countries with high epidemiological risk, although no country is currently designated as such.

I'm also considering St Anton vs one of the other Swiss towns I was considering. Distance is similar from ZRH and easily accessible by train. From the research I've done it looks like a beautiful area with many hiking, cable car, and biking trips your can do. There is also a mountain coaster within an hour.

I'm just finding the pricing of that kosher program to be quite expensive. They've gone up in price exponentially since last year when it was already pretty high in price. But I guess this is what you need to pay if you don't want to schlep your own food.

Everyone raised their prices actually they are still relatively cheaper than others but yes over the last few years prices went crazy
I heard Weber tours did an amazing job last year similar to Levtravel in Arosa if you are familiar
I just hope the area is actually beautiful because i am not looking for the food rather for a nice area that provides kosher food
