Can I ski off-piste?

‘Off-piste’ means that you are not ‘on-piste’. This is when you take part in skiing or snowboarding outside of the designated (on-piste) runs as outlined by the resort.

All of our policies cover you to ski/snowboard off-piste if you have added the additional winter sports cover. This is provided that you are not skiing/snowboarding against local authority advice, or against the advice of the resort management.

Please note that some of the policies we offer require you to be with a guide if you intend to go off-piste. Make sure you check your Policy Wording and are clear on the definitions and restrictions included with winter sports cover.
