Are you properly insured?

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’.

The Carré Neige guarantees

  • Rescue and evacuation: coverage by ski patrol, ambulance or helicopter, with no upfront costs.

  • Medical expenses: reimbursement of costs not covered by Social Security and your health insurance.

  • Ski passes and lessons: reimbursement in the event of an accident or illness.

  • Repatriation: Organisation and coverage of your return to your tax residence by MUTUAIDE.

  • Comprehensive cover: skiing, snowboarding, sledging, off-piste accessible from ski lifts, illness or accident during your stay.
