Carré neige insurance

Go safe, go Carré Neige!

Anyone enrolled in lessons is not insured by ESF. Lessons are non-refundable. We recommend students to check the coverage of their private insurance or to subscribe to a ski insurance. In order to fully enjoy your holidays, be sure to have good insurance. 

ESF Valloire offers Carré Neige insurance (valid during your stay) or Carré Neige Intégral (valid before and during your stay) which give a set of assistance and assurance guarantees in case you have an accident during your stay. 

With Carré Neige, you get the best medical help of the sector, complete prestation, rescue on slopes, refund of ski pass and ambulance transport. 

With insurance, you cover yourself but also your family and therefore limit the costs (that can be astronomical in the mountains!) 

To ski with peace of mind and freely go down the slopes, on your own, with family and friends, think Carré Neige.
