What Is Ski & Winter Sports Insurance?

Ski and winter sports insurance is a specialised travel insurance policy that covers the unique risks of skiing, snowboarding, and other winter activities. Standard travel insurance typically excludes winter sports, making this dedicated cover necessary for slope holidays. The policy covers medical treatment for skiing injuries, emergency mountain rescue, and helicopter evacuation costs. It also protects against equipment loss or damage, piste closures due to poor snow conditions, and personal liability if you injure someone else. You can purchase it as a single-trip policy or annual cover for frequent skiers.

The Benefits of Ski Travel Insurance

Ski insurance provides financial protection against unexpected medical expenses if you’re injured on the slopes. Cover typically includes emergency evacuation from mountain areas, which can cost thousands of euros without proper protection. Your policy can reimburse you for unused lift passes and equipment hire if illness or injury cuts your trip short. Many policies also cover the cost of lost or stolen ski equipment, including expensive gear and accessories. Travel disruption cover helps if bad weather closes airports or resorts, ensuring you can reclaim accommodation and travel costs.
