seasonal skiing insurance
Started by User in France, 51 Replies
You probably need more than one type of insurance.

When I used to work in the Alps and employ people a basic UK extended holiday/work type insurance covered personal belongings, medical problems and dentistry and repatriation.

Carte neige covered mountain rescue and some medical stuff.
EHIC EU card also essential in my view.

Don't forget that in a prolonged stay "ordinary" sickness needing medical help or drugs is more likely than during a holiday as is dental help.

I am sorry but I cannot recomend any specific policy for you.
Maybe a broker could help or, if you are cheeky enough, a call to a tour operator or two to ask who they use could give you a starting point.

Good luck - would be interested to know what you find and decide on.

Mike - how's the search going?

Looks to me like the primary criteria is your accomodation?

If it were me I would be looking for suitable accomodation - size, proximity to slopes, cost (and sauna, jacuzzi, swimming pool, helicopter pad etc etc) - and then checking out the skiing.

At the time of your planned trip snow cover in an avarage year should be good pretty much everywhere which opens up your options to smaller resorts and lower resorts.

Are you just grizzling because you aren't on the list?

Sounds quite a good idea, better than lengths of fluorescent ribbon.
Cost?

But, personally...
I tend to just sit there and cry until the guide climbs back up and does the hard work.

Mind you that costs a beer or two later.
