Ski biking uses a bicycle-style frame fitted with skis instead of wheels, allowing riders to descend snow-covered slopes while steering with handlebars. It combines elements of cycling and skiing and is typically used on prepared pistes at ski resorts. When travelling, ski biking is usually enjoyed as a recreational, amateur activity rather than a competitive sport.
ActivitySure can cover ski biking when you are taking part overseas at an amateur level. While ski bikes are designed to offer stability and control, the combination of speed, steering and variable snow conditions means falls can still occur. Having appropriate travel insurance in place helps protect you financially if something goes wrong while riding during your trip.

Destination Insight
Ski biking is well established in parts of France, Austria and Switzerland, where many alpine resorts offer designated ski bike pistes, rental equipment and introductory sessions. The activity is also growing in popularity in Italy and Germany, particularly at resorts that cater to alternative or adaptive snow sports. Outside Europe, ski biking can be found at selected resorts in the United States and Canada, often through guided or supervised sessions.
Many travellers try ski biking as an alternative to traditional skiing during a winter sports holiday.
Ski biking involves descending slopes at speed while balancing and steering on snow. Changes in terrain, snow conditions or visibility can increase the likelihood of falls or collisions. Injuries may occur through loss of control, impact with the ground or contact with other slope users. If you are injured while ski biking abroad, travel insurance helps protect you financially if you require medical treatment, hospital care or repatriation.
