Are you properly insured?
In France, ski rescue services are provided by qualified ski patrollers and are subject to a charge. Depending on the action required, the situation in the ski area (remote piste, off-piste) and the resources deployed (medical helicopter), rescue operations can prove expensive. For example (according to carreneige.com):
a helicopter rescue operation costs on average between €1,800 and €3,000 and can exceed €10,000
A rescue on the slopes costs around €656
That's why we strongly recommend that our customers check the terms and conditions of their personal insurance policies or take out appropriate insurance, such as ‘Carré Neige’.
