Winter Sports Cover

Winter sports, by the nature of the activity, can carry a small element of danger. Therefore, it is important to make sure your travel insurance policy covers you to ski before you set off. Our policy will give you comprehensive cover for any eventuality. So if you are taking a one-off trip to the Alps or the USA, you would be covered in the event of an accident or loss or damage to your ski equipment.

If you take a summer holiday, winter sports break and weekend trips and annual policy would be the obvious option. This would give you up to 17 day ski cover during the policy period. When you think about the costs involved in medical treatment and mountain rescue, it makes the outlay for your travel insurance worthwhile. It’s a sobering thought that treatment for a sprained ankle could cost £500 and a broken leg in the USA about £25,000. Adding to this the fact that a rescue sled can cost £300 and air ambulance costs start at about £15 per minute.
