Êtes-vous bien assuré(e)s ?

In France, ski rescue services are provided by qualified ski patrollers and are subject to a charge. Depending on what needs to be done, rescue services on the slopes can be expensive. For example (according to carreneige.com):

  • a helicopter rescue costs between €1800 and €3000 on average

  • a rescue operation on the slopes costs around 430€.

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’.
