Insurance for ski touring

All ski touring and off piste skiing involves a risk. We recommend you to review your insurance before your trip.

Sweden
Mountain rescue is free in Sweden. However, it might be good to review your Accidents Insurance.

The Alps and other countries
In France, the mountain rescue free as in Sweden. In the rest of the world, however, mountain rescue (by helicopter) can be costly.

Start by checking your home insurancesome insurance companies include off-piste skiing.
