We all know the risks involved in skiing and snowboarding – and without that element of danger it wouldn’t be so much fun! Even if you have been lucky enough not to have had an accident so far on the slopes you are bound to have witnessed one – and seen the piste rescue teams in action. So if you’re off to the slopes there’s one thing you don’t want to be without – travel insurance.

Because of the type of injuries that occur on the slope bills for medical treatment can easily run into thousands of pounds very quickly – and without insurance it will be down to you to pay the bill.

And while we recommend having an E111 – don’t rely on it. While it will help with medical bills it won’t cover things like unused equipment and lift pass days and there won’t be a helpline on hand to support you during your treatment or organise things like your repatriation home.

While our winter sports cover is cheap – it’s highly comprehensive. Unlike many providers we cover off piste skiing and snowboarding automatically – and you don’t even need to be with a guide.

We provide a 24 hour emergency helpline. Plus you’ll be covered for piste rescue, personal liability, piste closure, ski packs, medical expenses and much more. And if your taking your family away then you’ll be pleased to hear that our winter sports cover includes under 18’s for FREE.

Would annual cover be better for you?
If you take more than one holiday – especially if holidays include a winter sports break and a relaxing summer break – then annual cover should work out cheaper and more convenient for you.
