Skiing and snowboarding travel insurance
There’s nothing quite like the crisp mountain air and gliding down a freshly snow-covered slope. Regardless of experience level, embrace this thrill to the fullest with snow skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling insurance that covers you while hitting the slopes.
Is skiing and snowboarding covered under travel insurance?
Most policies will generally require you to add optional coverage for skiing or snowboarding. Our policies require you to add this coverage to be insured for winter sports on your holiday. This optional cover is designed to cater to the unique risks and challenges associated with winter sports.
Standard travel insurance policies can often exclude activities like skiing and snowboarding, or have various types of limited coverage, so be sure to research carefully and always read the PDS to ensure it is right for you. By opting for this add-on, you ensure that your policy extends to provide cover for certain winter sports-related incidents such as injuries on the slopes. It may provide further comfort for those looking to enjoy the snowy mountainside with confidence.
Add skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling insurance cover
If you're planning a winter sports holiday, consider enhancing your comprehensive travel insurance policy with our quality snow skiing, snowboarding, or snowmobiling cover. This optional cover is available for an additional premium and can be easily included in your policy. It’s also required if you want cover for your participation in winter sports activities on your holiday.
During the quote process, simply select it as an optional extra, and you'll gain added protection. The optional extra insurance for snowboarding and skiing includes cover for a range of winter-specific risks, including potential injuries related to these sports.
What isn’t covered under skiing and snowboarding travel insurance?
Skiers and snowboarders will not be covered if they are off-piste, or outside the authorised areas of the resort. They will also not be covered if they are racing, skiing or snowboarding in a professional capacity.
For the full details of our winter sports and luggage extras, we always recommend reading the complete policy wording in the Product Disclosure Statement (PDF 596kB).
Are other winter sports covered under travel insurance?
If your holiday includes other winter sports such as tobogganing, ice fishing or ice hockey (non-professional only), standard coverage is included at no extra cost. Coverage also automatically includes:
- 24/7 Emergency Assistance
- Overseas Medical and Dental Expense cover1,2
- Delayed Luggage Allowance2
Will travel insurance cover my skiing and snowboarding equipment?
Our insurance policies provide cover for your luggage and personal effects in cases of loss, theft, or damage. These come with standard item limits for balanced coverage, but for travellers with high-value items, we offer the option to increase this limit.
