Bobsleigh/Cresta Run Travel Insurance
A travel insurance policy before leaving your home is a good idea if you are planning a trip, whether a Bobsleighing or the Cresta Run. Bobsleighing is prevalent in Europe and Switzerland for the Cresta Run.
We can also provide cover for the Cresta Run (Amateur Competitions).
This policy is issued through our provider Adventures.
Please Note: We can cover the days you will participate in the Bobsleigh/Cresta Run if you already have a Travel Insurance policy. When getting a quote and purchasing a policy, you must take out Adventures Party A Only, so the cover is valid.
