Ski and snowboard insurance with Velo Plus – safety in the mountains and elsewhere

The winter season means only one thing – it's time to enjoy active recreation in the mountains! Although skiing and snowboarding provide unforgettable emotions, these sports are not without risks. Damage, theft or even accidents on the slopes can ruin your vacation and cause unexpected expenses.

That is why it is worth learning about BTA Velo Plus insurance, which also provides protection for winter sports equipment – skis, skiboards and snowboards.

Why do you need ski and snowboard insurance?

Skis and snowboards are valuable equipment, and any active recreation enthusiast knows how much new equipment costs. Even the most careful athletes can experience damage, for example:

• equipment is damaged during transportation;
• skis or snowboards disappear from hotels or ski resort storage facilities;
• theft from a car or ski resort;
• damage during a fall or collision with another athlete.

Velo Plus insurance provides protection in such situations, allowing you to enjoy active winter recreation in Latvia and abroad without any worries.

What does Velo Plus insurance cover for winter sports enthusiasts?

BTA Velo Plus policy is suitable not only for bicycle owners, but also for anyone who uses sports equipment, including skis, skiboards, skateboards, skates, or even Nordic walking equipment.

This insurance covers:

• Damage or theft – if the equipment is stolen or damaged during transportation, storage or use.
• Third-party liability – if you accidentally cause damage to other people or their property, for example, by accidentally colliding with another skier on a slope.
• Damage abroad – the policy is valid not only in Latvia, but also in all European Union countries.
• Up to 5 items of equipment – you can insure several sports items in one policy, for example, the equipment of one family or group of friends.

This is especially useful for those who spend the winter in the mountains, where the risk of damaging or losing equipment is significantly higher.

Active recreation carefree – security that travels with you

With Velo Plus insurance, you can go on mountain trips being sure that your equipment is safe – whether you are skiing in the Alps, the Tatras or right here in Sigulda.

The insurance is valid throughout Europe, and if an accident occurs, you can file a claim directly in the "Mans BTA" app – quickly and easily.

Moreover, if the winter season is just the beginning of your active leisure, you can also insure other equipment with the same policy – for example, SUP boards, kayaks, skateboards or bicycles. This means that one solution provides security throughout the year.

Practical tips for winter equipment safety

To keep your snowboards and skis safe, follow a few simple but important recommendations:

• secure your equipment when leaving it unattended;
• store it in a locked, supervised room;
• use protective covers during transportation and secure your equipment safely;
• keep your purchase receipt or equipment description – they may be useful for claiming compensation.

Active recreation in winter brings joy, freedom, and energy, but also risks that can be reduced. BTA Velo Plus insurance ensures that your skiboards, snowboards or skis are protected against damage and theft – both in the mountains and elsewhere.
