insurance and snowboard insurance- for experienced riders

Whether going for a season or a week, if you're on the mountain - you need to be insured (the alternative is the risk of a very big bill).

You also need to make sure that you’re covered for everything you need cover for – you should also make sure your policy covers any activities you might take on in the mountains, such as parapenting, tobogganing, bob-sleighing and off-piste skiing/snowboarding.

Two excellent choices that we have picked out to make your life easier are Ski Insurance.co.uk and The Ski Club of Great Britain.

Both companies offer well-priced, value for money policies, with a wide choice of cover and options, depending on whether you are looking for just medical or equipment cover.

Seasonal Insurance
Anyone heading out without a job or wanting to top up your employer insurance should get seasonal insurance, which is available for periods up to 6 months away. For those with employer insurance, make sure you check the details of what is included as certain activities may be excluded such as the snowpark, heliskiing or off piste. Please note that if you are working, seasonal insurance policies do not include any injuries you may incur while you are working. Check out Ski Insurance for options.

Annual Multi-Trip Insurance
Experienced and regular riders should get an Annual Policy - one policy covers every trip you take, including summer holidays (there is a maximum number of days that any one trip can be). Again Annual Insurance has a price advantage, whilst Ski Club insurance covers off piste without a guide, plus numerous summer sports activities too.

Single Trip Insurance
For those booking a single trip: you can select how many days you require cover for, where and when. We've found that Ski-Insurance is a competitive, robust policy that offers a lot of choice and are very happy to recommend them.

NB - A 14 day money back guarantee applies to all of these policies (prior to travel)
