Regulations on the Tourist Tax (guidelines shared with Liddes and Bourg-St-Pierre); the municipal council set the entry into force date as 1.11.2019 on 27.3.2019, but the published PDF leaves the dates of the municipal assembly and approval blank. Rates, according to Pays du St-Bernard (saint-bernard.ch, «About us»), remain unchanged: CHF 3.60 and a flat rate of CHF 180 per UPM. Applies throughout the municipality, including Champex-Lac and La Fouly. Collector: Orsières Municipality, which may delegate this to the Société de développement du Pays du St-Bernard. Landlords must report the overnight stays by 30 April (winter) and 31 October (summer) for statistical purposes. Buildings listed in the inventory outside the PGEE receive a 50% reduction. The regulations do not specify whether the tax may be passed on to guests. Instead of an accommodation tax, Orsières charges a tourist promotion tax, which the landlord pays.
