 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just a quick question for those in the know, for the past two seasons I've used the BMC as my insurer (I've had an annual policy as I've worked two full seasons) Unfortunately I'm from the Channel Islands and they've just informed me that they will no longer provide cover for Channel Island or Isle of Man residents, are there any other good companies out there worth looking at for cover, ideally one that includes off-piste cover and mountain evacuation (helicopter)? Need to get it sorted for this winter
Cheers

Try the Austrian Alpenverein if that is where you are going to be based. Or perhaps the Provincial Skilehrerverband have the type of insurance you need for the ski season.
If you are employed by an Austrian Ski School, you are covered anyway for any accidents that occur while working. That includes accidents on your way to or from your workplace. They have very good industrial injuries cover, so it is the repatriation costs you need to cover I suppose, but I suspect they would be covered as well. For all my other needs I used a standard annual travel insurance when I was working in Tirol and Salzburgerland.

Yeah I was thinking of Austrian Insurers as a good friend is with them. I was going to get carte neige anyway, but I used BMC insurance as my all round personal insurance too!

just found dog tag.
are you with them Heidiky? It looks like you can be covered to hike and mountaineer up to some good heights. Might go with them, just need to find out what their 'small print' is regarding off piste coverage for touring/ski mountaineering/etc.

You have an e-card and health insurance through work, so unless you need possessions insurance, go with the Alpen Verein - something like €20 a year, covers mountain evacuation, and as far as I understand it, repatriation to the country you are a permanent resident of.
EDIT: Dammit, old thread.
