If you plan to hit the slopes and go skiing this season, you should first make sure that your travel insurance policy provides you with the level of protection that best suits your needs. All too often, skiers who buy their travel insurance through a travel agent or a tour operator find they don’t have sufficient cover to meet their needs.
Hundreds of thousands of skiers out there are travelling without sufficient coverage, largely because the sale of travel insurance through travel agents which sell you your holiday package goes unregulated. Therefore it is easy to end up in a situation where you are being provided with an insurance policy which is insufficient for you and your party.

Ski holidays, great for skiers, no good for those that don't ski, right? Wrong!
The problem with skiing holidays is in their name - perhaps they should be called "winter holidays". Calling them ski holidays makes a loud statement that "this holiday is for people who ski". What many non skiers don't realise is that taking a winter holiday in a ski resort can be an excellent way to spend a week, even if you aren't convinced by the merits of hurtling downhill with two planks of wood strapped to your feet.

Meribel is housed in the same ski areas as Val Thorens and Courchevel. If you just wanted to ski these areas, you'd have well over 400 kilometers of pistes. If you wanted to jump up to 600 kilometers of pistes, then, you can buy a ski pass that gives you access to over 100 kilometers of cross-country ski paths, just shy of 300 runs, two snowboarding parks (nearby Les Menuires and Courchevel have bigger parks) and near 190 ski lifts. These astounding numbers are only possible because Brides-les-Bain, Les Menuires, St. Martin de Belleville and La Tania are all accessible together. If you wanted access to all these slopes without the Meribel price tag, then try staying at one of the lower-end resort towns, taking transportation to your ski area of choice.
