Cheap Ski Travel Insurance

When you’ve exhausted all the Aussie ski fields, pick up some cheap ski travel insurance tailored for international travel and head across to NZ to experience some of their fantastic ski and snowboarding terrain. Accommodation is varied including chalets and lodges, homesteads, B&Bs, cottages and log cabins - but is invariably off mountain.
To reduce pollution and overcrowded parking, car pool or take a bus up … it’s worth the effort.

Just deciding on a whim to go skiing is not the best idea unless you keep fit year round. Taking a bit of time to get your fitness level up before you go will reduce your risk of injury
Having ski travel insurance is a must just in case. Get some advice from your local gym about exercises that will help you prepare because you want to make the most of every second on the slopes.

Working holidays are the perfect option if you just can’t get enough snow. Lodges and resorts in New Zealand, Canada, the U.S, Europe the U.K and even Japan are open to Aussie workers wanting an overseas ski experience without the major expense, or for those travelling as a backpacker. So you could work year round on a ski field somewhere in different parts of the world making life one long, endless winter experience.

While insurance cover is a must, you don’t have to spend your entire earnings or savings keeping yourself covered. iTrek’s cheap travel insurance options range from Bronze – the cheapest of our policies which still provides you with an exceptional level of protection for emergency medical, hospital and evacuation – to our fully comprehensive Platinum level which takes in everything up to alternative travel and trip resumption.

For family ski insurance we recommend at a minimum our Gold cover which also insures against trip cancellation and lost deposits, lost luggage and personal effects and up to $10,000 towards emergency expenses - as life with children can hold too much of the unexpected.

Whether you’re strictly for the slopes or are experienced enough to head off-piste, if you hit the slopes harder than you’d intended, cheap ski travel insurance will ensure your parents don’t have to mortgage their house (and don’t laugh it happens) to pay your medical bills and get you home again.

Everyone will have their own preferences and experiences, but many recognise the following as some of the world’s best ski fields:

• The Remarkables in New Zealand – though comparatively new
• Cervinia in Italy
• Banff in Canada
• Vail and Aspen in the U.S.A.
• Gstaad in Switzerland

The French Alps in, where else, France – pick a spot but probably Val-Thorens
