Skiing and snowboarding can be an expensive hobby but you can save time and money by arranging your ski insurance online with 1Stop. We provide comprehensive ski insurance and snowboard insurance at low prices to protect you and your equipment. If you're taking the children, we can save you even more as our ski insurance allows kids to go free with a parent or guardian**

Our ski insurance policy offers you the same cover as our standard single trip insurance, including up to £10,000,000 medical expenses and £5,000 cancellation and curtailment. In addition our ski insurance is specially designed to cover your ski holiday so as well as protecting your health, money and valuables, you can claim up to £1000 if you break or lose your own ski equipment and up to £250 for each item you have hired. Our ski insurance even has you covered if the resort has to close the piste.

If you are travelling more than twice in a year an annual travel insurance policy could save you money. Our annual policy including ski cover offers insurance for an unlimited number of trips up to 45 days in duration, including 17 days per year skiing.
