Luge is a high-speed winter activity where riders lie on their back on a small sled and travel feet-first down an ice track. It relies on balance, steering control and precise body positioning, and is best known for its inclusion in the Winter Olympics. Bobsleigh is a related sled-based activity that takes place on the same style of ice track but uses larger, enclosed sleds, often ridden by teams.
ActivitySure can cover both luge and bobsleigh when you are taking part abroad at an amateur level, including recreational runs and organised experiences, provided the activity meets the policy conditions.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go luging or bobsleighing?
Luge and bobsleigh are most commonly found in alpine winter destinations such as Switzerland, Austria and Canada, where purpose-built ice tracks operate during the colder months.
Some resorts also offer supervised recreational rides, including passenger bobsleigh experiences at well-known venues such as St Moritz and Whistler. In certain locations, adapted summer versions may be available at alpine adventure parks using wheeled sled systems.
Here's why bobsleigh travel insurance matters:
Both luge and bobsleigh involve high speeds, steep gradients and sharp corners. Even under supervision, there is a risk of impact injuries, particularly during braking or cornering. If an incident occurs while abroad, medical treatment or repatriation may be required, making appropriate travel insurance an important part of your trip.
Helpful travel tips
- Luge and bobsleigh are safest when participants follow strict track rules and guidance.
- Always follow the instructions of instructors, guides or track officials.
- Wear appropriate safety equipment, including a helmet where required.
- Keep your body position controlled and avoid sudden or exaggerated movements.
- Remain within recommended speed limits for recreational runs.
- Only take part on approved tracks operated by recognised venues.
