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.
