When practicing an extreme sport like windsurfing, kitesurfing, skiing, or mountaineering, it is essential to consider safety — not just physical, but also financial.
Extreme sports insurance can cover:
- Medical expenses for accidents
- Helicopter rescue or mountain rescue
- Damage to third parties or structures
- Repatriation in case of emergency
When is it really needed?
If you train in places like Lake Garda, the Dolomites or the coast of Sardinia, you could be miles from a hospital. A good policy can make the difference.
How to choose the right policy
Compare at least 2 or 3 options. Some companies offer coverage dedicated to surfers or skiers, such as:
- Columbus Insurance
- IMA Italy Assistance
- AXA Travel Insurance
