Wintersports Travel Insurance - What Can You Expect?

From Luging to Zorbing.....or just relaxing...

With a language seemingly all its own Wintersports holidays are not only becoming increasingly popular, but also increasingly complex and extreme. From Zorbing to Skeletons, Bobsleigh to Dog Sleigh, Luging to Sidooing there appears to be a sport, no matter how minor, suitable for anyone. 

No one can deny that Winter Holidays also have an atmosphere of their own - an off piste and on piste cameraderie that extends back home. Friendships made on ski holidays seem to last beyond the break and this may be because families and couples are more likely return year after year at the same time and to the same location.

Insuring your holiday where extreme sports or even the most gentle of ski slopes can cause tumbles, falls, slips and bumps is of vital importance and we recommend too, that policies are taken out when booking your trip to make sure that your deposit is also covered, but what can you reasonably expect to cover?

Well, Holsure have a dedicated policy just for those who like wintersports abroad, including skiing, sledging, snowboarding and skidooing.

For those under 66 years old, the policy aims to cover everything you may require for your wintersports holiday, including: off piste skiing or snowboarding; 4x4 off road driving on ice or snow, (where accompanied by experienced driver or on an officially organised event); Bobsleighing & dog-sledding, cross country skiing & snowboarding, curling, Glacier walking, (when accompanied by an official guide), heli-skiing, Ice hockey, ice skating & land skiing, Luging & mono skiing, Recreational Ski Racing, skiing, skidoos, sledging, sleigh rides, snowboarding, snow mobiling, snowparks, snow-shoeing and tobogganing.

The following will also be covered when supervised by a qualified instructor at all times: bob rafting, ice climbing, ice diving (up to 30m), ice karting, snow rafting, ski joering and piste basher driving, (instructor must be onboard at all times).

Now if you haven't discovered a new word or phrase in that last paragraph or two then you are a dedicated Wintersports person - well done!
