Ski run walking involves walking on snow-covered paths and designated routes within ski areas, often alongside pistes or through nearby alpine terrain. It may be done on foot or using snowshoes and allows travellers to experience winter mountain environments without skiing or snowboarding. The activity is generally low impact and is suitable for a wide range of fitness levels when undertaken on marked routes.
ActivitySure can cover ski run walking when you are taking part overseas at an amateur level, with cover available to an altitude of 6,000 metres, depending on your plans. As altitude increases, conditions such as weather, temperature and access to assistance can become more demanding, so it is important to ensure the correct level of cover is in place for the height you expect to reach.
Ski run walking is usually carried out on groomed winter paths or clearly marked routes rather than technical terrain, and is often enjoyed by non-skiers, spectators or those looking for a gentler winter activity.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go ski run walking?
Ski run walking is popular in destinations with well-developed winter walking infrastructure. Austria offers extensive networks of marked winter paths that run alongside ski pistes and through alpine villages. Norway is well known for its scenic winter walking routes that pass through forests and open mountain landscapes, while Canada provides a range of groomed trails in ski resorts that allow walkers to enjoy high-altitude scenery without venturing onto technical ground.
Many travellers choose ski run walking as a way to experience mountain environments while staying close to resort facilities.
Here's why ski run walking travel insurance matters:
Ski run walking takes place on snow and ice, where slippery surfaces, uneven ground and cold conditions can increase the risk of falls or minor injuries. At higher altitudes, changes in weather and limited access to medical facilities can also complicate treatment if something goes wrong. If you are injured while ski run walking abroad, travel insurance helps protect you financially if you require medical treatment, hospital care or repatriation.
Helpful travel tips
- Follow all resort signage and guidance for winter walking routes
- Wear sturdy winter boots with good grip suitable for snow and ice
- Keep to marked paths and stay alert to skiers passing nearby
- Allow extra time and pace yourself, particularly at higher altitudes.
- Check weather conditions before setting out and turn back if conditions worsen.
