Winter Sports Travel Insurance Option Explained
The table above is only a summary of what our winter sports travel insurance covers. The sections of “Winter Sports Cover” are explained in more detail below. However, you should always refer to the policy wording for full winter sports travel insurance terms, conditions, and exclusions.
Ski Pack cover – for the cost of ski pass, ski hire, or ski school fee that you are unable to use or recover due to accidental bodily injury, or sickness that prevents you from skiing, as medically certified or due to the loss or theft of your ski pass.
Ski Equipment – for the cost to hire ski equipment following the loss, theft, or damage of ski equipment including the delayed arrival of ski equipment.
Piste closure – for each day that it is not possible to ski because lifts are closed due to a complete lack of snow, adverse weather conditions, or avalanche danger in your pre-booked trip resort.
Am I Covered for Piste Rescue or Airlift?
Emergency Medical Expenses that are included as standard on Voyager Europa Travel Insurance are extended on the Winter Sports option to include any injuries sustained while taking part in winter sports. This includes any piste rescue is necessary.
Consequently, if the worst were to happen and you needed a helicopter to airlift you from the mountain, it is unlikely to be covered if you do not have Winter Sports cover. Therefore, it is extremely important to add Winter Sports cover to your Voyager Europa Travel Insurance policy as even a short helicopter trip can cost £1,000s!
