Snowmobiling, also known as ski-dooing, involves riding a motorised snow vehicle designed to travel over snow and ice. It allows participants to cover long distances across winter landscapes, including forests, frozen lakes and open terrain. When travelling, snowmobiling is typically undertaken at an amateur level as part of guided tours or supervised excursions rather than competitive riding.
ActivitySure can cover snowmobiling and ski-dooing when you are taking part overseas at an amateur level. These activities are usually organised and led by experienced guides, with designated routes and safety briefings provided. However, riding at speed on snow and ice carries inherent risks, making it important to have appropriate travel insurance in place before taking part.

Destination Insight
Snowmobiling is popular in regions with reliable winter conditions and wide open terrain. Lapland is well known for guided snowmobile safaris through forests and across frozen lakes, often combined with winter wildlife or Northern Lights experiences. Alaska offers vast wilderness areas suited to long-distance snowmobile routes, while Iceland provides dramatic landscapes that include glaciers and volcanic terrain. In these destinations, snowmobiling is typically offered as a structured, guided activity designed for visiting travellers.
Many people include snowmobiling as part of a wider winter holiday rather than as a standalone trip.
Snowmobiling involves travelling at speed on slippery, uneven surfaces, which increases the risk of collisions, falls or loss of control. Cold temperatures and remote locations can also make access to medical care more challenging if an accident occurs. If you are injured while snowmobiling or ski-dooing abroad, travel insurance helps protect you financially if you require medical treatment, emergency assistance or repatriation.
Yes. Snowmobiling, also known as ski-dooing, is covered when you add Winter Sports cover to your ActivitySure policy. It’s not covered as standard.
This depends on the country, your age, and how the activity is organised. It’s your responsibility to make sure you meet any local requirements before taking part, as cover may depend on following the relevant rules.
Yes - if you’re injured while snowmobiling, your policy may include cover for emergency medical treatment and assistance abroad. This applies to accidents such as falls or collisions, as long as you’re taking part within the terms of your policy and following local laws.
Your policy can include emergency medical transport to a suitable medical facility if you’re injured, provided this is arranged through the emergency assistance team. General search and recovery where no injury has occurred isn’t covered.
Yes. You can be covered to take part in guided or organised snowmobile tours when Winter Sports cover is in place. You’ll need to follow local safety guidance and any professional instruction while taking part.
No. Travel insurance is designed to cover you, not the vehicle. If you’re hiring or riding a snowmobile, you may need separate cover for damage, repairs, or lost hire costs.
