Adventure travel excursions can be exciting and memorable, but also extremely unpredictable!
Consider the facts:
Many travel protection and international health insurance plans exclude Hazardous Sports coverage
Many plans that offer a "rider" for Mountain Climbing or High Altitude Trekking end coverage when ascending over 4,500 meters
Mountain climbing is one of the most dangerous sports in the world. If you’re unlucky enough to need an evacuation or airlift to hospital, you’ll be facing a bill running into the thousands even before you get medical attention.
The plans listed in this category include Emergency Medical and Emergency Medical Evacuation for all Hazardous Sports Activities including Mountain Climbing and High Altitude Trekking.
