following:
It would appear that www.ski-insurance.co.uk are no longer interested in old
people like me. Their web site excludes people older than their mid
fifties, though I was offered a Fortis annual policy when I phoned them.
On paper (i.e. my PC screen) Insureandgo offer polices at a low price which
do include off piste skiing in areas not deemed unsuitable by resort
management
and without the requirement for a guide.
The only down side with Insureandgo is that there are many bad public
reviews , contrasted by one or two good ones.
Marks & Spencer have a policy that allows you to add unguided off piste
skiing as a option, but it does significantly increase the price.
I don't do that much off piste skiing but there are some runs where the
sides of the pistes are not marked, so if is never clear whether or not you
are on a piste, further I have been know to take a shortcut where for
example, I have gone in the wrong direction.
Anyone got an opinion of Insureandgo or able to suggest an alternative. I
have a one week and a two week holiday booked, (covered by an insurance
policy that does not include skiing risks.)
We use Direct Travel, whose FAQ incudes this
http://www.direct-travel.co.uk/faq/c...off-piste.aspx
Their insurance also covers large motorcycles, which is the other
reason why we use it.
