Winter Sports Insurance
Winter sports carry their own unique risks and we therefore offer winter sports insurance as an upgrade to our Economy, Standard and Premium policies. The upgrade extends cover to loss or damage of owned or hired ski equipment, loss or theft of ski pass and compensation for Piste closure, avalanche or landslide. The usual medical emergency, repatriation and personal liability cover is also extended to winter sport-related accidents.
Our winter sports insurance is available for both European and Worldwide destinations and we cover the following winter sports undertaken on a non-competitive and non-professional basis:
Cross country skiing (Nordic Skiing), mono skiing or snowboarding (in areas designated safe by resort management), skiing, snow sledging, tobogganing, snow blading, cat skiing, big foot skiing, glacier skiing, ice hockey and off-Piste skiing or snowboarding (within local ski patrol guidelines).
Your Winter Sports Travel Insurance includes:
- Prices from just £9.98
- Covers your skis and ski equipment up to £500
- Includes ski pass and ski equipment delay
- Includes piste closure
- Redundancy cover
- 24 hour worldwide emergency assistance
We do not cover winter sports classed as extreme, including freestyle skiing, heli-skiing, luging, off-piste skiing or snowboarding in areas designated as unsafe by resort management, off-piste skiing or snowboarding where there is an avalanche warning in place, parapenting, ski acrobatics and stunting, ski bob racing, ski-doing, ski flying, ski jumping, ski racing or training, the use of skeletons or bobsleighs and snowmobiling.

If you are planning to go away more than once this year, take a look at our annual cover as this will be better value.

- If you are travelling on business and you only use your laptop when plugged in to the mains, remove the battery before you travel to reduce the weight.
- Reduce the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis on long haul flights by getting up for a walk at certain points and also doing leg exercises in your seat.
