Winter sports and ski travel insurance

Skiing is a popular winter sport that attracts millions of U.K travellers every year. Whether you’re a seasoned skier or a complete beginner, a winter sports holiday is thrilling but accidents can happen to even the most experienced. That’s why it’s important to get the right level of cover before hitting the slopes.

If your holiday involves activities or sports that are ice or snow based you must make sure you have winter sports cover included in your travel insurance, as this doesn’t come as standard with most policies. It’s important to check that all the activities you have planned on your holiday are covered by your policy.
