Please Note: We can cover just the day or days that you will be taking part in Cross Country Skiing if you already have a Travel Insurance policy in place. When getting a quote and purchasing a policy, you must take out Adventures Party A Only, so the cover is valid.
Common Injuries
Cross Country Skiing has the benefit of being a full-body, aerobic exercise that is a low-impact sport and does not come with many of the risks of injury that can be incurred through other sports.
When it comes to Skiing, most studies focus on the injuries incurred by Alpine Skiers, leaving little data on those sustained by Cross Country Skiers.
Ski Safety Equipment
You can purchase Ski Safety Equipment such as Backpacks and Transceivers and much more on our website: www.snowsafe.co.uk
Pre-Existing Medical Conditions
If you have pre-existing medical conditions and you plan to participate in Cross Country Skiing whilst travelling abroad, we can provide you with a policy.
On the quote page, you need to select Hazardous Activity Pack C.
Please read the Policy Wording for any Restrictions or Exclusions.
