Winter Sports & Ski Travel Insurance

Winter Sports cover may be included in our travel insurance policies at additional cost and include cover for recreational skiing (including snow boarding) in recognised resort areas that have marked pistes or runs designed for public use.

Within these recognized areas, you are covered for “Off-piste” skiing provided you are under the supervision of a qualified guide or instructor.

Wintersports cover can be added to single trip and annual travel insurance policies.

This policy is available to all UK residents up to the age of 74. Get a quote in 30 seconds >>
