What makes our ski insurance policy different?
Be aware that some travel insurance policies will exclude skiing, snowboarding and many other activities on the slopes. So, if you have an accident and are not covered, you could be left to pick up the bill. Make sure you have the correct cover.
At SportsCover Direct we cover a variety of winter sports disciplines including off-piste skiing, cross-country skiing, Nordic combined, ski jumping and a whole host of other activities on the mountains.
Our policy comes with benefits such as 24 hour emergency medical assistance, search and rescue, cancellation cover and more. If you need to be evacuated from the mountainside or repatriated back home, this will be covered under our policy.
Our Sports Travel Insurance policy lets you choose the skiing insurance that suits you. Just tell us exactly what you will be doing on your ski holiday and we’ll provide you with the cover you need.
