If you’re heading away on a via ferrata holiday, here are some of the benefits you can enjoy:

If you’re taking away any specific sporting equipment relating to your chosen activities, you can up up to £5,600 worth of equipment cover onto your policy, protecting you against loss, damage and theft.

Emergency Medical Expenses

If you’re injured whilst climbing overseas, you may require medical treatment abroad. With £10 million worth of cover on all travel policies, you’re covered for these often costly treatments, as well as emergency repatriation if it is deemed necessary.

Activity and Race Entry Fees

If an injury means you are unable to take part in a pre-booked activity, such as a climbing outing or other similar tour, you could be eligible to claim back between £150 and £500 towards your irretrievable entry costs, depending on your level of cover.

Travel Delay Cover

Flight delays can take a big chunk out of your time on the pitch abroad. Our policy covers you for the time you are left on the ground due to industrial action, mechanical failure or adverse weather.
