Italy made insurance mandatory for a holiday – ‘won’t be permitted on the slopes’ without | Travel News | Travel

In the case of Italy, Kevin explained: “If you’re going skiing in Italy, you’ll need third-party liability insurance, or you won’t be permitted on the slopes.

“Such cover will be included in a winter sports insurance policy, and this will probably work out cheaper than buying cover on the spot when you get there.

“A couple heading to Italy for a week could expect to pay around £20 – £25 for an insurance policy including liability protection, cancellation cover, medical expenses cover and loss or theft of belongings.

“Buying liability cover on its own at the resort is likely to cost £2 per person per day – and if you go skiing without cover, you could be hit with a fine of £125.”
