Travel Insurance
Adequate travel insurance is important for any holiday, but particularly so for those involving skiing, snowboarding and winter sports.
All Ski Weekender customers must have adequate medical and repatriation insurance, and have checked that this covers them for winter sports cover. If you are in any doubt please check with your insurer. We also strongly recommend that you have cancellation and baggage cover. Please remember that your policy must cover your entire stay including both your day of arrival and departure and please ensure you bring all policies and documents with you.
For 2008/09, Ski Weekender will be offering insurance as an optional supplement to your basic holiday package price. We offer this policy at two standard rates:
- For trips of up to 5 days - £14 per person
- For trips of up to 8 days - £18 per person
