What is ski insurance?

Not every travel insurance policy covers winter sports, and as holidays to ski resorts are rarely cheap it's best to make sure you're covered for the unexpected, so the costs don't keep adding up. As there's a high risk of injury or equipment damage, it's best to be as prepared as you can be.

Ski holiday insurance will cover your own injuries as well as others you may harm on the piste. You'll also be covered for skiing expenses if an injury early in your winter getaway keeps you off the slopes.

Ski travel insurance is very specific and covers everything that might occur during a trip to the mountains.

Off piste: if you're planning to avoid the crowds and ski off piste, make sure all your ski travel requirements are covered.
Travelling abroad: if you're planning trip abroad, make sure you're covered where you are heading. Not all insurance companies provide emergency medical assistance for skiing overseas.
Bad weather conditions: as weather in the mountains can change rapidly, make sure you’re covered if conditions ruin your plans. Some travel insurance companies will reimburse you for expenses, such as transport, pre-purchased ski passes, and accommodation.
Cancellation policies: make sure you're covered if you have to cancel your ski trip due to unforeseen circumstances. You might be reimbursed for all or part of your travel expenses.
