Winter Sports Travel Insurance
If you’re heading off on a winter sports adventure, you may think a standard Single-Trip policy will provide a sufficient level of cover but, in actuality, many single trip policies won’t offer cover for winter sports equipment or activities. Instead, you should consider a Winter Sports travel insurance policy, which is specifically designed for those who plan to ski, ice skate even snowboard, whether that’s as a beginner or a black-run pro.
With this policy you can choose to travel to ski destinations in Europe or Worldwide, plus, you’re automatically covered for loads of activities, including; on-piste skiing, snowboarding and ice skating. You can also add extra sports to your policy, such as heli-skiing, terrain park riding and ski and snowboard racing. This additional cover comes at a very affordable premium and provides that much needed protection. For more information, check out our activity packs.
Our Winter Sports travel insurance can be purchased for Single Trips or as a Multi-Trip policy - even if you only intend on the one ski trip for the year, a Winter Sports Multi-Trip policy will also cover the beach holidays or city breaks you’ve booked as well.
All of our Winter Sports policies include:
- UK, Europe and Worldwide options
- Cover for both on and off-piste skiing and snowboarding
- Discounts for couples
