What snowboarding insurance do I need?

Before choosing snowboard holiday insurance, it’s worth thinking about what your trip involves and the level of cover you may need. 

We recommend considering: 

  • Equipment: Are you taking your own board or high-value gear? 
  • Medical conditions: Does anyone in your group need cover for pre-existing conditions? 
  • Activities: Will you be riding off-piste or using snow parks? 
  • Baggage cover: Do you need higher limits for specialist kit? 
  • Trip frequency: Will you snowboard more than once this year? 

 

Your personal client manager will talk through your plans and help arrange snowboarding travel insurance that matches your itinerary, whether it’s a one-off adventure, a family holiday, or a longer winter break.

What are my snowboarding insurance cover options?

Many riders ask whether single-trip or annual cover is better for snowboarding. The right choice depends on how often you travel and the type of riding you plan. 

Single-trip snowboarding insurance 

Ideal for one-off snowboard holidays or weekend trips.
This provides full cover for the duration of your break — including medical emergencies, damaged equipment, piste closures, and lost lift passes. 

Annual snowboarding travel insurance 

Perfect for frequent riders who take multiple trips throughout the year.
This covers every snowboarding holiday you take within the policy year (up to a set trip length), often working out cheaper than buying individual policies. 

At Norton Insurance Brokers, we focus on flexibility, ensuring you get reliable cover that suits your plans and your level of experience.

Specialist protection for

Skiing and extreme adventure sports

If you’re heading to the slopes, or climbing a cliff face, you most likely won’t be automatically covered by a standard travel insurance policy. We can arrange winter sports travel insurance, and cover for other ‘extreme’ sports which are considered higher risk. 

It’s best to let us know when setting up your policy exactly what activities you’re planning, or may take part in on any trip. While you can add this type of protection onto single-trip policies, you can also get these kinds of cover included in an annual travel insurance policy. Your personal client manager will be able to talk through the options with you to help you decide what will be most suitable for your needs. 

Travel insurance FAQs

Do you have to have travel insurance?

While travel insurance isn’t a legal requirement, it’s a safety net in case things go wrong on your trip. For example, if you have an accident while you’re abroad you might end up with a hefty medical bill. Having comprehensive travel insurance in place means you’ll likely receive some financial support towards the cost.  

Does travel insurance cover strikes?

It depends on the type of cover you have and may differ between providers. Contact us to discuss your specific needs, and our team will guide you through the available options.

When will my travel insurance start and end?

When arranging your travel insurance, our personal client managers will assist you in setting your policy’s start and end dates. Generally, you’ll receive immediate protection upon purchasing the policy, ensuring coverage in case of any unexpected issues before your trip begins.

When is it 'too late' to buy travel insurance?

The ideal time to get travel insurance is right after booking your trip, but you can buy it up until the day you leave. Consider taking out an annual travel insurance policy as you’ll be automatically covered for any trips you take and there’s no need to arrange cover every time you go.
