South of France villas: 'Insurance important for ski holidays'

People who are looking to head abroad to a ski resort, perhaps by booking up south of France villas, have been urged to make sure they have adequate travel insurance in place.

MoneySupermarket.com has delivered the advice, after it conducted a study which found that winter sports cover can vary in a raft of ways.

This includes people taking out different levels of cover, as well as opting for various exclusions and caveats.

Brits heading to a ski resort have also been advised by the price comparison site to have protection in place to cover any piste closures, avalanche closures or when they pursue off-piste skiing.

Bob Atkinson, travel expert at MoneySupermarket.com, said: "At a time when people are looking to make the most of their holiday money, finding the best value for money travel insurance policies will give thrill-seekers extra cash to enjoy the apres-ski entertainment!"

For those hoping to seek out south of France villas closer to sea level, Giuseppe Cosmai, general manager of Le Mas Candille, has recently advised that the region of Provence presents "one of the best regions in the world" for tourists to enjoy.
