Our winter sports insurance goes further
Heading for the mountains? Add winter sports to your travel insurance quote, and compare options for a wide range of snow and ice activities.
Cover can also include protection for your own or hired equipment, ski packs and passes, piste closure, and avalanche disruption. Limits and conditions vary, so compare the cover available for the trip you've got planned.
Cover for a range of winter activities
As well as skiing and snowboarding, policies can cover activities like husky dog sledding, snowmobiling, ice skating, and more. Bear in mind that some activities have additional conditions or restrictions.
Winter sports equipment
Cover can be available for winter sports equipment you own or hire if it is lost, stolen or damaged.
When the mountain has other ideas
Depending on your policy, additional benefits can include piste closure, avalanche closure, and unused ski pack or pass costs. Check the limits and conditions of the policy you choose.
Medical help while you're away
If illness or injury interrupts your trip, emergency medical assistance is available 24 hours a day. Keep the emergency contact details handy while you travel.
Got more ski trips planned?
If you're planning several ski or snowboarding holidays, then have a think about annual multi-trip travel insurance. Travel whenever you like, with cover available for up to 45 days over the course of the 365 day period, depending on insurer and cover limits.
