Top insurance for the discerning skier! Excellent insurance is absolutely essential and really has to be tailored specifically to skiers' and snowboarders' needs. Therefore, we have arranged this wintersports insurance policy with Axa Insurance that gives you all the cover that you need. Please check thoroughly what our policy includes against others.
It is a condition of booking that you take travel insurance. You must either take the cover offered by us or take out another policy offering at least the same or better cover. No liability will be accepted for the consequences of any customers travelling without adequate ski insurance
Please Note: Full insurance cover can only be made by paying the appropriate premium when booking, and cannot be added subsequently. This policy is valid only for residents of the UK or Republic of Ireland, currently residing in that country.
