Snow Sports

Rumour has it that the winter sports holiday was ‘born’ in the 1800’s when a hotelier in St Moritz wagered a group of British tourists enjoying the hospitality at his establishment, the Klum Hotel during the summer of 1864, that it is sunnier in winter in St Moritz and that if they returned at Christmas and stayed until Easter he would cover their board and lodge if he was proved wrong.

Well, apparently it certainly was gloriously sunny and the winter sports holiday was off to a flying start!

Of course no matter how wonderful the weather, a snow sports holiday in the cold is not everyone’s cup of tea, but for those amongst us who adore the thrill of snow skiing, snow boarding and snow mobiling, ensuring you have your back covered by a great travel insurance policy is of paramount importance.

Cover for snow sports is available as an option with all Easy Travel Insurance policies for an additional premium, so if you are heading to the snow you should select this option when purchasing cover for your trip.

You can get a quote online or over the phone but even if You pay the extra premium, You will only be covered if:

• You are skiing or snowboarding On-Piste
• You are not racing; and
• You are not participating in a Professional capacity

If you need cover for Off-Piste snow skiing/boarding and/or heli-skiing/boarding you should select the “Adventure Pack” cover rather than the Snow Sports Pack.
