Lift-pass insurance cover
I'm just renewing the family insurance for forthcoming French hol and can't
include our oldest 2 kids because they are over 21. I've told them to look into getting their own insurance - but in case they forget or don't bother what level of cover is provided with the lift-pass insurance? My guess is you get lifted off the mountain and first-aid but not much else - am I right? We'll all have E111 cover so the holiday insurance is mainly there for repatriation and extensive treatment should it be required. Roy |

If you buy the Carré Neige offered by most lift companies, it should cover you for any treatment incurred by the accident, I think, including repatriation if necessary. Check details on www.cartreneige.fr (French only, I'm afraid). just out of interest, have you looked at the Ski Club's insurance? This year, for the first time, it's available to non-members, and may work out cheaper than your existing policy (or may not, as the case may be). http://www.skiclub.co.uk/skiclub/insurance/default.asp gives details, although I'm afraid the kids still need their own :-{ -- Ace (brucedotrogers a.t rochedotcom) Ski Club of Great Britain - http://www.skiclub.co.uk All opinions expressed are personal and in no way represent those of the Ski Club. |

Well yes, of course you'll get charged for it, but the insurance will reimburse it at a later date. -- Ace (brucedotrogers a.t rochedotcom) Ski Club of Great Britain - http://www.skiclub.co.uk All opinions expressed are personal and in no way represent those of the Ski Club. |

Yes - I was more emphasising that simply having a lift pass doesn't = entitle you to any freebies above and beyond the piste patrollers and = lifts etc! |

Roy You should look online - there are some really cheap annual with ski policies especially for couples/families and especially if you stick to Europe. My partner and I have one for about £110 for the 2 of us but it gets cheaper the more people you cover. |

Interesting - some of the premiums are ridiculously cheap, it's true, but it's not always going to be cheaper than the SkiClub one I mentioned http://www.skiclub.co.uk/skiclub/insurance/default.asp. Specifically, the multitrip policies are mostly about the same price for the standard option, but only if you need worldwide cover. If you just need European cover (which they don't seem to offer on a multitrip policy) the Ski Club one is significantly cheaper. No links to company and usual caveats etc Likewise; well, the caveat bit, anyway. But I'm just a member (and a rep) and have no financial interest in promoting anything. -- Ace (brucedotrogers a.t rochedotcom) Ski Club of Great Britain - http://www.skiclub.co.uk All opinions expressed are personal and in no way represent those of the Ski Club. |

My partner and I have one for about £110 for the 2 of us but it gets cheaper the more people you cover. Wow that seems a lot. Ours (with Direct Travel Insurance) is GBP68 - which included a GBP5 discount for renewing without a break. I can't see anything significant it doesn't cover. It's multi-trip, Europe.
