Long stay wintersports cover for Instructors, Guides, Resort Staff and Seasonairres with no limits on your Ski Days, so go as often as you can!
Its almost a passage of life, to go away and spend a winter season working as a seasonaire in a chalet or bar or pounding the local airport doing "meet and greet" as a company rep.
Whatever you choose to do in resort you will need a comprehensive ski season insurance to cover you for your time away and more importantly to cover you on the mountain for the full duration of your stay.
As a seasonaire when choosing a winter sports insurance it's important to bear a number of factors in mind. The ski holiday insurance and pricing depends on many factors such as length of stay, how many days you have free to ski and board, the sporting activities you wish to engage in or whether you need comprehensive cover for your laptops, iphones and all the other high value portable items which you may wish to take with you.
