What is Winter Sports Travel Insurance?

Winter Sports travel insurance policies have been designed to cover people travelling out on a skiing or snow boarding holiday and gives you that extra cover for that expensive equipment or compensation should your resort be closed due to lack of snow (please see terms and conditions). Winter Sports Travel Insurance is also referred to as ski travel insurance or snowboarding travel insurance.

The cheapest winter sports policy is £ (based on 1 adult aged up to 50 travelling in Europe for up to 8 days).

Winter Sports Travel Insurance Key Benefits

Cover for accidental loss, theft or damage to your own or hired ski equipment - up to £500 in total
A daily payment if your own equipment is lost, stolen or damaged in transit - up to £20 per day.
End Supplier Insolvency Insurance including Scheduled Airline Insolvency Insurance
Cover towards transport costs to an alternative site, if your own resort is closed for more than 12 hours - up to £200 in total

Emergency Recovery (including helicopter rescue if medically necessary) and any associated medical expenses is included in the Emergency Medical Expenses section of the policy - up to £10 Million in total.

Attention!

The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) could provide you with some emergency healthcare for EU countries, but it will not pay for Helicopter or stretcher rescue, repatriation costs, lost or stolen property, and it does not cover long-term medical treatment.
