Winter sports insurance is essential for anyone planning an adventure-filled escape to the slopes. 

Whether you're skiing in the Alps, snowboarding in the Rockies, or enjoying a snowy getaway closer to home, unexpected events—like medical emergencies, damaged gear, or travel disruptions—can easily derail your trip. 

With the right coverage, you can focus on carving up the snow instead of worrying about the "what-ifs."

When do I need winter sports insurance?

Winter sports come with a bit more thrill—and risk—than your average holiday. Here's why winter sports insurance is a must-have:

  • Specialised Medical Coverage: Standard health insurance often doesn’t cover sports injuries, especially if you're travelling internationally. We offer reliable support, including evacuation if necessary.
  • Expensive Equipment Protection: Your skis, snowboards, and other gear are expensive investments. Protecting them against theft or damage helps avoid unexpected costs.
  • Peace of Mind: Trips to snowy destinations can be unpredictable—bad weather, sudden cancellations, or injury can throw a wrench in your plans. Winter sports insurance helps you handle the unexpected with ease.

Whether you're an experienced winter sports enthusiast or a first-timer, Rise & Shield has your back—so you can focus on the thrill of the mountain, not the risks.
