Insurance
Please make sure you have adequate insurance for winter sports - getting airlifted off a mountainside is not cheap. For your insurance to be valid you need to be covered from the first day of travel.
We suggest you read the small print thoroughly, so you know exactly what it entails. Policies can have a lot of exclusions and may only cover pisted skiing. Others are strict about what they view as off-piste. Check that ski touring is included as some marked runs are technically off-piste.
One of the conditions of booking is that you are adequately insured. We will ask who you are insured by and what cover you have.
We use MPI Insurance Brokers. Their winter sports insurance covers all areas, both on and off-piste, so there is no confusion if an accident occurs. They provide an excellent service.
