Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm doing the Valle Blanche in Jan and been informed by the guide that I need to take out insurance. I asked for a steer in the right direction and was refered to the British Mountainering Council website.
However there cheapest insurance cover, after you take out an obligatory membership with BMC (!) costs a whopping €60+ euro. This will be more expensive per person that the flights and more expensive that the guide himself.
I googled in "ski insurance" and AXA came up with a much more reassuring €10 for the trip.
It doesn't take a genius to work out which one looks better, but does anyone know what the difference is and do I really need the expensive one.
This trip I am going on was supposed to be a cheap weekend, its increasingly and most defintely not turning out that way.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

killian, Another option is Snowcard, who definitely cover the VB, and I have that from them in writing. Your guide is very cheap though, mine cost €270, from the AIGMB, and I got a refund as they declined to offer the service in resort.

The BMC is the definitive product, one I reccommend for sesonnaires, instructors etc.
But if you don't need all the inclusions, by all means shop around.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

killian, At £10, there is almost certainly something missing that you could want.
You don't need the £60 one, but most of the ones giving decent single trip cover for skiing including off-piste sem to be between £25 and £40.
Fogg seem to be quite a good one http://www.fogginsure.co.uk/
