Winter Sports Travel Insurance
If you’re heading off on a winter sports adventure, you may think a standard Single-Trip policy will provide enough protection. However, many standard travel insurance policies do not include cover for winter sports equipment, ski passes or specialist activities, meaning you might face risks on the slopes without protection.
A Winter Sports travel insurance policy helps you enjoy skiing, snowboarding, ice skating and other winter sports — whether you're a complete beginner or confident on the black runs.
With a specialist Winter Sports travel insurance policy, you can travel to ski destinations in Europe or Worldwide knowing the policy automatically covers popular activities, including on-piste skiing, snowboarding and ice skating. It also automatically covers 100+ standard activities, so you can enjoy your winter sports adventures with peace of mind.
Winter Sport Single Trip or Winter Sport Multi Trip Cover
Our Winter Sports travel insurance covers your needs whether you choose a Single-Trip or Multi-Trip policy. Even if you only plan one ski holiday this year, a multi-trip policy can also cover your summer beach holidays or city breaks, offering excellent value for regular travellers.
It’s important to remember that all travel insurance policies have limits and exclusions. To avoid any surprises, we recommend reviewing your policy wording carefully to make sure you choose the right level of cover for your plans.
For general safety guidance before heading to the slopes, you may find the Ski Club of Great Britain’s safety advice helpful.
