Trekking Travel Insurance

Trekking and Hiking Insurance

Snowcard provide specialist trekking travel insurance for global worldwide destinations.

When it comes to buying trekking holiday insurance it is a constant and confusing challenge to find the specialist cover you need. General travel policies or insurances provided free with bank accounts or credit cards do not cover trekking at altitude or the associated search and rescue insurance needed for peace of mind and security in the mountains. Snowcard has been providing specialist activity trekking holiday insurance and altitude trekking insurance since 1990 and is a market leader and first choice of cover for trekkers and hill walkers. Unlike other trekking travel insurers, Snowcard do not charge a higher fixed excess for heli-rescue.

Trekking and Altitude trekking insurance is not properly understood by most insurers who treat it like standard travel insurance.  At Snowcard we understand your complex and diverse needs and provide you with the ability to tailor your own trekking travel insurance policy allowing you to customise and choose your own cover limits for;

• Baggage
• Sports Equipment
• Techno Pack – Cameras and electronic equipment
• Cancellation cover
• Policy excess
