If you are going on a winter sports holiday, it is essential that you select a wintersports policy when you get a quote. You can do this right at the start, when you select your trip type.

For this reason, it’s very important to accurately declare your medical conditions, even if they are stable and cause you no issues on a day-to-day basis. You should also seek medical advice before your trip, your GP will be able to advise based specifically on your circumstances.
As specialists in medical travel insurance, you can rest assured that our policies are tailored to cover specific medical needs.

How to stay safe on a winter sports trip
There are lots of things you can do to make sure you stay as safe as possible on your winter sports trip, including:
- Making sure you stick to the ski runs that match your ability! If you’re a beginner it might be a good idea to take part in some lessons during your trip and stick to the green and blue ski runs.
- Never drink too much before you ski! High altitude can heighten the effects of alcohol. At sea level, one drink may not have been too much for you, but you might find that things are a little different when you reach the mountain.
- Invest in good quality equipment. Lots of people opt to rent their skis, poles and helmets. That’s fine however make sure you invest in good quality, gloves, goggles, clothing and shoes. You’ll thank yourself when you get there. And remember, always wear a helmet!
