Insurance

GHIC - UK Global Health Insurance Card (previously called EHIC). If you’re a citizen of the UK, this card entitles you to free or discounted medical treatment when you’re un an EU country. Find out more - click here.

In addition, our booking conditions insist that you get a winter sports insurance package to cover you for activities on the mountain. See here for more details about insurance.
 
In resort you can also add Carre Neige insurance to your ski pass. This includes mountain rescue and repatriation due to injuries on the mountain.
 
Take copies of your insurance documents to resort including your policy’s emergency procedures.
 
Your Le Ski Guest Services Manager will be available in resort if you have any issues but make sure to keep copies of any paperwork and receipts from the doctors, hospital or pharmacy. The general rule in France is pay now then re-claim later.
