Explore with Confidence: Hiking & Trekking Insurance Tailored for Adventurers

Taking out dedicated insurance is essential if you practise outdoor mountain sports such as trekking, hiking, ski touring, or mountaineering. These high-altitude and remote activities involve significant risk — and standard travel insurance often doesn’t provide adequate cover for these kinds of adventure trips. A specialised insurance policy ensures that you are fully covered for medical emergencies, injury-related expenses, helicopter rescue, and even evacuation in challenging terrain.

• Medical expenses are fully covered: In the event of a fall, accident, or injury, your insurance plan will take care of hospital costs, medical treatment, and rehabilitation — even in isolated or mountainous regions.


• Helicopter rescue and repatriation included: Serious accidents during mountain activities often require costly airlift rescue and return to your home country. Our policies include these services as standard.


• 24/7 travel assistance abroad: When trekking overseas, reliable support and international medical assistance are essential. We provide emergency help at all times of day.


• Coverage for hiking equipment and trekking gear: Some policies also cover walking gear, climbing equipment, GPS tools, and specialist outdoor items. If your gear is lost or damaged, you can claim compensation.


• Easy sign-up process: You can get a quote online, customise your coverage, and receive your travel insurance instantly before your next adventure.


• Club or pass-holder upgrades: If you hold a hiking licence, alpine card, or belong to a trekking association, you can top up existing coverage with specific options that offer better protection for high-risk activities.

In the UK, and across Europe, hikers, walkers, and climbers are turning to specialised mountain activity insurance for protection. Whether you're going on a short weekend trip or a multi-day trek in high-altitude regions, insurance is a must-have for peace of mind, medical support, and financial security. Don't hesitate any longer and contact the best sports insurance provider in the world!

Typical travel insurance plans often exclude coverage for mountain trekking or hiking above certain altitudes. At Assure Ton Sport, we specialise in adventure insurance for active travel — including sports and mountain-based trips that require extended coverage and higher medical limits.

High-risk activities include trekking above 3,000 metres, hiking in remote areas without access to help, climbing on technical terrain, or going on long-distance hikes lasting several days. These require appropriate gear and often fall outside the limits of regular insurance. Always check your policy for exclusions and altitude thresholds.

Yes, you can still get travel and hiking insurance even if you’re already on your trip. Our flexible cover is perfect for digital nomads, long-term travellers, and spontaneous trekkers who need immediate protection for ongoing trekking activities.

Insurance prices vary depending on your age, destination, and duration of travel. Basic hiking insurance in the UK starts at around £15–£30 per trip. Frequent hikers can opt for annual multi-trip plans for broader coverage holidays throughout the year.

Filing a claim is quick and digital. Just log into your account, submit the required documents — such as receipts, medical reports, or police records — and our team will handle your request efficiently. We aim to make every claim as hassle-free as possible.

Yes. Disclose any pre-existing condition during sign-up. Some conditions may require extra screening or documents, but once approved, you’ll be fully covered for your hiking activity and medical care if needed.

Most policies include standard cover up to 2,500 or 3,000 metres. For treks above this (e.g., in the Andes, Alps, or Himalayas), you may need an altitude extension or a trekking-specific policy. High-altitude cover is essential to make sure rescue, evacuation, and medical treatment are included.

Yes. Our adventure travel policies include helicopter rescue, airlift evacuation, and mountain search and rescue if required. This is especially important if you're in remote areas where medical help isn’t nearby.

Although packing isn’t part of your insurance, proper preparation helps reduce risk. Take essentials such as trekking poles, waterproof gear, navigation tools (maps or GPS), energy snacks, a basic medical kit, and emergency shelter. You can also add gear protection to your policy to cover potential loss or damage during the trip.

Assure Ton Sport’s hiking insurance is designed to provide comprehensive insurance cover for hiking, trekking and adventure travel, whether you’re travelling in Europe, Canada or anywhere else in the world.



Our insurance policies include protection for the most common risks associated with mountain and trail activities, especially in remote or high-altitude environments.

Medical care and emergency treatment

In the event of an accident, fall or injury during a hiking or trekking activity, the policy covers medical treatment, hospitalisation, medication and follow-up care. This applies even in isolated areas where medical costs can be very high.

Emergency rescue and helicopter evacuation

If an incident occurs at altitude or in difficult terrain, emergency rescue may be required. Our hiking insurance includes helicopter rescue, search operations and evacuation, ensuring rapid assistance regardless of the location or metres of altitude involved.

Repatriation and travel assistance

When injuries require returning home, repatriation to your country of residence is covered. You also benefit from 24/7 assistance, with coordination of rescue services, medical facilities and emergency transport throughout your trip.

Trip interruption or cancellation

Unexpected events can force you to shorten or cancel your hiking travel plans. The policy provides cover for trip interruption or cancellation, helping limit financial loss during your adventure.

Personal accident benefits

In case of serious injury, the policy includes personal accident benefits, offering financial support if an incident impacts your ability to continue travelling or return to normal activities.

Optional cover for equipment and advanced activities

Depending on the pack you select, hiking insurance may also include compensation for lost or stolen equipment, such as backpacks, boots or technical gear.

Additional options are available for:

• high-altitude trekking,


• multi-day expeditions,


• extended travel periods over several days or months,


• and extreme sports activities linked to mountain travel.
