Winter sports insurance: what your policy should cover

Buying ski insurance for a holiday on the slopes is essential. Making sure that you are informed about ski insurance will help you to ensure that you are protected against every eventuality on your trip.

As long as you carry out your holiday activities safely and do not put yourself in unnecessary danger where good warning has been given, your travel insurance should cover all eventualities. Everyone deserves a safe holiday, and winter sports enthusiasts are no exception.

Looking online is often the simplest way to organise insurance and to research the various policies available. With so much choice around the sensible option would always be to look around.

Most winter sports insurance policies will cover skiing and snowboarding, some policies may even cover other activities such as tobogganing, ice skating, snow mobiling, cross country skiing or mono skiing.

Mountain rescue organisations, air ambulance or helicopter recovery should be included as standard if you are skiing on-piste and have an accident. For the more adventurous, you may wish too extend this cover to off-piste accidents.

Protecting your health by making sure that your insurance provider will pay for the cost of treating you while abroad if necessary, is very important. Some insurers also offer a 24 hour advice line with a doctor which speaks English.

Winter sports cover will also include damage to equipment or stolen equipment, the unfortunate case of the piste closing and avalanches or landslides.

To compare the policies of three reputable insurers, visit the websites of AA Travel Insurance, Go Travel Insurance and 1Stop Travel Insurance. These companies offer comprehensive cover at an affordable price.
