E-gloo Protect Ski Insurance

What is E-gloo Protect?
E-gloo Protect was created by the Comité Régional de Ski du Mont Blanc in collaboration with Gritchen Affinity and Mondial Assistance

Available at the lift ticket offices of partner resorts, in some Écoles du Ski Français, and at certain Nordic centers, E-gloo Protect provides all necessary insurance and assistance coverage for enjoying snow sports with peace of mind.

Mountain rescues are not free and are the responsibility of the injured person.
