Tailored Hiking Insurance to Match Your Adventure Needs

Emergency Transport & Repatriation

We provide full emergency cover for helicopter evacuation, medical rescue, and repatriation in case of an accident during trekking, alpine sports, or other high-risk activities abroad. Whether you're on a trail at 3,000+ metres, in a remote foreign country, or tackling challenging conditions, we help you return home safely — without the financial burden.

Permanent Disability Coverage – Up to €200,000

Injuries from trekking, or mountain sports can lead to long-term consequences. Our insurance policy offers financial protection in case of serious accidents or permanent disability, ensuring you're supported if your condition prevents further travel or activity. It’s essential cover for anyone exploring high-risk routes or remote, high-altitude areas.

Medical Treatment Costs – Up to €150,000

Our insurance policy covers key medical expenses such as hospitalisation, emergency treatment, and post-accident rehabilitation. Whether you're hiking in remote areas or on an extended adventure holiday, you’ll be protected against unexpected healthcare costs — so you can focus on recovery, not the bills.

Optional “Competition” and “Professional Athlete” Coverage

If you’re involved in endurance trekking, ultra-distance events, or are a professional guide leading high-risk tours, our customisable insurance plans offer additional coverage options. Designed for elite athletes and high-performance sports enthusiasts, these policies provide next-level protection for both training and organised events.

Why Hiking Insurance Is Essential for Adventure Travel

Trekking, hiking, and outdoor travel offer unforgettable experiences — but they also involve real risks. A misstep on a steep trail, a fall during a multi-day hike, or sudden illness in a remote area can lead to costly medical expenses, rescue operations, or even emergency helicopter evacuation.

That’s why having dedicated insurance is crucial. At Assure Ton Sport, we provide specialist trekking travel insurance trusted by walkers, backpackers, and adventurers across the UK and Europe. When you're travelling in high-altitude regions or off the beaten path, standard travel insurance often won’t offer the cover you need. Our policies are designed to help with medical treatment, accident protection, equipment loss, repatriation, and worldwide assistance — wherever your trip takes you.

FAQ

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!

Our policies include cover for medical care, emergency helicopter rescue, repatriation, trip interruption or cancellation, personal accident benefits, and compensation for lost or stolen equipment. Extra options are available for high-altitude trekking, multi-day expeditions, and extreme sports activities.

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.

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.
