Anyone planning a ski trip this winter is reminded to make sure they buy the most appropriate travel insurance cover before hitting the slopes.
The Ski Club of Great Britain believes that there are a wide range of attractive packages on offer from ski operators this year as they try to tempt Brits during the current economic climate following a lack of early bookings. This has led to many ski operators managing to agree favourable prices with many chalet owners and helped to lower overall costs.
Vanessa Fisher, spokesperson for the Ski Club of Great Britain, explained: "They are offering deals like a package deal where you get your lift pass, ski school and they are trying to add all the extra costs into the package.
"When people get on holiday, they won't discover that they have got all these extra costs."
This could mean that skiers and snowboarders will have the extra funds in place to make sure they purchase travel insurance cover just in case their skiing skills are a little rusty and they are forced to undergo some emergency medical treatment.
travel insurance policies also offer a number of other benefits to holidaymakers, including covering possible cancellation due to illness or injury, delays to flights, lost passports and tickets, as well as covering the cost of replacing lost or stolen baggage - vital as the cost of skiing equipment can be expensive.
With a bit of shopping around and using the internet, wintersports travel insurance can be easily affordable and cost-effective.
The Ski Club of Great Britain is recommending that holidaymakers stay away from the larger resorts this year if they are looking to save money, as well as considering Cortina and Courmayeur in Italy to help reduce overall costs and make budgets go that little bit further.
