The right travel insurance will come to your rescue when skiing.
There is no substitute to a Travel Insurance policy which thoroughly protects you while enjoying winter sports, whether starting out with a snowboard or advancing to heli-skiing.
Fatalities and serious injuries are decreasing with the development of safer equipment and the mandatory requirement of some insurance providers for their policy-holders to wear helmets.
However, with high speeds and uneven terrain, the risk of injury will always remain and it’s a risk that will cost a lot without the right protection in place.
The expense of injury
Helicopter mountain rescue is estimated to cost £20 a minute, while treatment for a relatively minor injury, such as a dislocated shoulder, can cost up to £2000.
An Ehic card gives you access to medical treatment while in Europe, but those enjoying some of the finest runs the continent has to offer are grossly under protected if they are relying on this alone.
Be in-check with your insurance
This means thinking of everything that may cause an issue. You may have your own equipment that you will be travelling with as opposed to hiring on arrival, in which case you need to consider its safe transit.
Any injuries you sustain while away could result in complications, which may need ongoing treatment before you are able to fully recover.
There is a way in which your insurance can fit around all of this, and the team at McClarrons can explain how. Our specialist brokers will take into consideration your individual needs and ensure you have the necessary cover you need to be able to relax and enjoy your holiday.
