Ski Travel Insurance

Introduction

If you intend to ski or snowboard during the period of your insurance you must select the Winter Sport Option. With the increase in short trips to Lapland during the winter you would also require Winter Sports cover. Even though you may not be skiing you would need the covered.

Cover, Care & Benefits

Not only will you benefit from our high levels of cover you will also be covered for loss or damage to your ski equipment. Your ski equipment is covered for loss, damage or theft but you must exercise reasonable care for the equipment. Should you have an accident on the slopes the insurance will provide cover for Mountain Rescue should that be necessary. When you consider that one-in-ten skiers require some form of medical treatment - usually for knee ligament damage or broken limbs - your first priority should be to make sure that you are covered for all medical eventualities. If you have pre-booked your ski pack but you are certified by a medical practitioner in the resort as being unable to ski and use the facilities your policy will cover you for the unused portion of your ski pack costs.

Off Piste

Many people skiers like to enjoy the exhilaration of skiing off piste. Your policy will cover you for off piste skiing on recognised routes within your resort. You are allowed to ski off piste outside the resort but only with a qualified guide who must be approved by the resort. These points are worth noting regarding off piste skiing as it could save you thousands in medical bills and helicopter rescue costs.
