FAQs

1. Is having insurance to do a ski season in Switzerland compulsory?

No, it isn't, but it is strongly recommended that you do.

2. Can I get Insurance while I am there for the Season?

Yes, you can get two types of Swiss ski insurance in Switzerland:  SkiPass Assu and Snow Assist. However, These are limited to covering mountain rescue, lost ski pass, and loss of ski lessons if you get injured and cannot ski anymore. For more information, see below  

3. Will my GHIC ( Global Health Insurance Card ) work in Switzerland?  

You will get reduced healthcare costs if you have a GHIC; see more information here. You can apply for a GHIC here. This will help, but it's no substitute for proper travel insurance covering winter sports. 

4. How do I get a work permit for a Season in Switzerland?

You must apply for an L permit; your employer can do this. If you intend to work as a ski instructor there, please see more information below. 

5. Can I ski in France and Italy with Season Ski Insurance for Switzerland?

Yes, you can, as your area for insurance will be Europe. You can ski into Portes de Soleil in France or from Zermatt into Cervinia if you are doing a Season. 

6. What is the cost of a Season Ski Pass for Switzerland?

This depends on where you go, but for the four valleys, including Verbier and Nendaz, it is 1249 Swiss Francs if you buy it before 30 September - that's £1120. This is an Annual Pass, which also allows you to ski for up to 50 days in other resorts.

Getting a work permit for Switzerland 

It would be best to find a job, get the employer to apply on your behalf, and present these documents. 

  • Passport 

  • Police certificate  from the UK

Ski Pass Assure 

This is Swiss Insurance from Assua, which you can purchase online or at a Swiss Ski resort. It covers Medical expenses, mountain rescue, cancellation, and luggage loss.
