Ski Insurance for France

We consider it essential to be well insured before embarking on a Winter Sports holiday - in fact we consider it so important that we will not accept your booking if you are not insured. As we are an Appointed Representative of Fogg Travel Insurance Services Limited, the leading experts in Ski Insurance, who with the Insurers, Union Reiseversicherung AG (URV), are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), we are able to offer you a travel insurance cover tailored for Ski Beat winter sports holidays. This insurance includes the Fogg Travel MEDI-CARD enabling you to ski with the knowledge that all your rescue, transportation and medical bills will be automatically taken care of (you pay the policy excess). As with most insurances, you are only insured for an event which occurs after you have purchased the cover. Please therefore carefully read the paragraph headed Health. It is essential that you read the insurance policy. If for any reason it is not suitable for you, you may return it for a full refund, provided you return it within 14 days of receipt and you have not travelled or have made a claim. A brief summary of the cover is provided below followed by a full copy of the insurance policy at the bottom of this page. A copy of the insurance policy will be sent with your confirmation of booking.
