Winter Sports Travel Insurance

Winter sports travel insurance is specifically designed for all those winter sports activities which are not covered by standard trip travel insurance or annual multi-trip travel insurance.

Winter sports travel insurance is normally to cover the more traditional winter sports activity - Skiing, including off piste skiing (skiing off the predetermined routes for the more experienced skiers). Winter sports activities include big foot skiing, heliskiing, snowboarding, snow mobiles, skidoos, snow shoeing, tobogganing, ice hockey, bobsleigh, luging and skeleton, to name a few.

Winter sports travel insurance can be arranged for single, couple (including friends - please check with the specific insurer), and family. Winter sports travel insurance can also be arranged for groups at a discount.

If you plan to take a winter sports holiday then winter sports travel insurance is a must, as accidents can occur whilst participating in winter sports and the medical treatment can be very expensive. In addition, it may be complicated by the fact that you could be half way up a mountain at the time the accident occurs, so you may need a medical rescue team to get to you, then a medical air ambulance helicopter to take you back to ground. If you are not insured, the costs of all this would be down to you, which can amount to many thousands, especially in the USA.

Winter sports travel insurance also covers you for your equipment, such as skis, in addition to the normal baggage loss, as well as cancellation and curtailment. Winter sports travel insurance is more expensive than standard travel insurance but essential if you are participating in any winter sports activities.

Winter sports travel insurance is also included in most annual travel insurance policies with an annual daily limit of between 10 and 24 days (you should check your annual travel policy wording).

Winter sports travel insurance is available online where you can safely and securely check your options, pay online to save money and print out your policy for instant cover.

Winter sports travel insurance policies are normally offered for cover within Europe, which has the most popular winter sports destinations, but it is also available for worldwide cover.

Unexpected injuries caused by taking part in winter sports activities can be more than just dangerous; they can be horrendously expensive, as you may have to be flown to a specialist hospital to treat you if you are in a remote area. You must remember there is not an NHS to protect you outside of the UK.

The cost of winter sports travel insurance is pennies compared to the cost of paying for treatment.
