Compare winter sports cover for your ski holiday
Planning a ski trip? Compare the Market helps you find travel insurance policies that cover winter sports activities. When comparing policies, check that your specific activities are covered, whether that's skiing, snowboarding or other mountain sports. Look for policies that include emergency medical treatment and medical evacuation or repatriation costs, which can run into thousands of pounds if you're injured abroad. It's also worth checking what's included for ski equipment and hire cover in case your gear gets lost or damaged. Pay close attention to exclusions and limits too – many policies won't cover off-piste skiing, accidents involving alcohol, or pre-existing medical conditions unless you declare them upfront.

Questions about ski travel insurance
These FAQs can help you compare winter sports and ski travel insurance policies and understand what different policies typically cover.
Read our FAQsWhat does ski travel insurance cover?
Ski travel insurance typically covers emergency medical treatment, mountain rescue and medical evacuation, repatriation, and damage or loss to your ski equipment (whether owned or hired). Some policies may also include cover for piste closure or trip curtailment, though the specifics will vary between insurers.
Do I need winter sports cover on my travel insurance?
Standard travel insurance often excludes activities like skiing and snowboarding, so adding winter sports cover can help protect you against higher-risk costs such as mountain rescue and medical evacuation. It's worth checking your policy wording and any exclusions before you travel.
Does ski insurance cover off-piste skiing?
Off-piste cover varies widely between policies. Many insurers may offer cover if you stay within resort boundaries, follow local safety guidance, or ski with a qualified guide, but restrictions and exclusions differ. Always check the policy details carefully to understand what conditions apply.
Is my ski equipment covered?
Equipment cover may apply to both owned and hired gear for loss, theft, or damage, though policies often have limits and excesses. High-value items may need higher cover limits, and conditions such as leaving equipment unattended can affect claims. Check your policy limits and any specific conditions that apply.
