You've been on your skiing holiday for a few days and you want to try a different activity to break up the week. Ice skating, tobogganing or something more extreme such as heli-skiing are all options nowadays - but are you covered should you get injured?

Travel insurance specialist InsureandGo warns consumers to check their insurance carefully before donning ice skates or hiring a toboggan.

Perry Wilson, from InsureandGo, said: "Holidays are a time for having fun and we believe that a person's insurance shouldn't restrict them from trying new activities. By including a variety of winter sports automatically, our customers can really make the most of their time away while being safe in the knowledge that they are covered should an incident or accident occur."

InsureandGo's winter sports policies automatically cover recreational racing, mono skiing, guided cross-country skiing, snow mobiling, tobogganing and ice skating, as well as off piste skiing and snowboarding, at no extra cost.

And its extreme winter sport packages offer perfect cover for adrenaline junkies as activities include heli skiing, ski acrobatics, ski stunting, freestyle skiing, ski racing and training (non professional) - and their snowboarding equivalents - plus ice hockey, skeletons and bobsleighs.

With prices from £18 for its winter sports policies InsureandGo provides low cost but high value cover. For more information please visit www.skiinsurance.co.uk or call 0870 901 3674.
