Snowcat driving involves operating large, tracked vehicles designed to groom ski slopes and travel across deep snow. These powerful machines are typically used by resorts to maintain pistes, but some destinations offer supervised driving experiences that allow visitors to take the controls in controlled mountain environments.
ActivitySure can cover snowcat driving on an amateur, non-professional basis when you are taking part abroad, provided the experience meets the policy conditions. Because snowcats are heavy vehicles often used in challenging terrain and low-visibility conditions, it is important to ensure your travel insurance is suitable before taking part.

Destination Insight
Where is popular for snowcat driving?
Snowcat driving experiences are available at selected resorts in Canada, where wide ski areas and back-of-house resort operations allow supervised access to grooming routes and remote sections of the mountain. In Switzerland, some alpine resorts offer guided snowcat experiences that focus on learning how pistes are prepared and maintained. Parts of the United States also provide snowcat driving as an organised activity, usually outside peak slope hours and under close instructor supervision.
Participants are typically accompanied by experienced operators and restricted to designated routes rather than open ski areas.
Here's why snowcat driving travel insurance matters:
Snowcat driving involves operating heavy machinery on snow-covered and uneven ground. Reduced traction, poor visibility and steep gradients can increase the risk of accidents, even during supervised sessions. Injuries may require medical treatment or repatriation home, making appropriate travel insurance an important consideration when taking part abroad.
Helpful travel tips
- Only operate snowcats under the supervision of qualified instructors.
- Follow designated routes, speed limits and all operational guidance.
- Wear appropriate safety equipment and remain seated and secured at all times
- Keep clear of steep edges, avalanche-prone areas and active ski slopes
- Follow all instructions provided by the activity organiser throughout the experience,
