Slopes around the Gastlosen alternate between wind-blown powder and hard slabs, and teams descend fast so as not to lose each other. One mistake is enough for a fractured tibia. Your medical expenses, up to €150,000, cover treatment, hospital stays and surgery in Switzerland.
An injury in Jaun turns the journey home into a headache when you live in Lyon, Brussels or Milan. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost arranges evacuation from where the accident happened and then your return home, wherever that may be.
The Trophée des Gastlosen is an official competition, and many teams go on to other ski mountaineering races. The Competition option covers your racing at this event and for the whole season, in Switzerland and abroad, whoever your teammate happens to be.
A knock against exposed rock, a fall late in the race when your legs no longer respond, and the consequences can be lasting. Permanent disability capital of up to €200,000 is paid to you personally, whether or not your teammate walks away unhurt.
In team racing, the danger often comes from wanting to keep up: you push too hard on the climb to stay with your partner, rush the transition, then descend faster than your skills allow. Below the Gastlosen, January wind hardens the snow, and every one of those mistakes costs more.
Ski mountaineering is a whole-winter pursuit, from the Pre-Alps to the high peaks, from evening laps on the piste to weekend races. Accidents happen on those repeated outings too. Our ski mountaineering insurance covers you every time you go out, in Switzerland, France or anywhere else.
The Trophée des Gastlosen is a team ski mountaineering race held in Jaun, a German-speaking village in the canton of Fribourg. Its course is laid out around the Gastlosen chain, a line of limestone towers well known to climbers, and calls for solid winter mountain experience.
You manage teams, mass starts and racers who must stay together. We insure all of your participants under a single policy. Medical assistance answers 24/7 throughout the race, and repatriation is included. And if it suits you, we can also be a partner or sponsor of your event.
No. Each racer takes out their own individual accident insurance. Guarantees are personal: if one of you is injured, their medical expenses and any disability capital depend on their own policy.
No. Our cover depends neither on a licence nor on your nationality, and it applies whatever your country of residence. Entry requirements for the Trophée des Gastlosen itself are set by the organisers.
No. This is not cancellation insurance, so neither your entry nor your hotel is refunded. AxeoSport covers bodily injury: your treatment, evacuation, repatriation and disability capital if needed.
Ski plenty of variable snow from December onwards, and practise kick turns and quick transitions with your teammate. Those training sessions are covered by your individual accident insurance in the same way as the race.
