Mist on the water, gravel on the descents, cover that holds

icon Frais médicaux

A crash on a wet forest descent, €150,000 of care

Vosges descents run narrow, shaded and often damp, and tired legs brake late. A broken collarbone or a shoulder on the tarmac means scans, surgery and days in hospital. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including hospital stays and the operating theatre.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Picked up on a mountain road, then taken home

An ambulance needs time to reach a pass road between two valleys, and the right trauma unit is rarely the nearest one. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, from the evacuation itself to the journey back to your own front door, wherever you live.

icon Option compétition

Licensed racing and the whole season on one card

Gérardmer is raced under federation rules, with wave starts, timing chips and a results list. The Competition option covers you in official racing, on this start line and through every other event you enter that year, from spring sprints to winter duathlons.

icon Capital invalidité

Lasting damage after the bike leg, up to €200,000

A heavy fall can leave a shoulder that never rotates freely again or a knee that gives way on stairs, and some jobs cannot absorb that. The permanent disability benefit pays up to €200,000, based on the degree of impairment assessed once your condition has stabilised.

Why a mountain triathlon punishes a casual build-up

Mountain water is colder than the pool you trained in, and the first hundred metres can take your breath away. Then the bike leg climbs, and the real test comes on the way back down, when legs are empty and the corners keep coming. Many starters meet that terrain for the first time on race morning.

One September day is only part of it. Winter pool sessions, long spring rides, an August training camp, the club duathlon in between, each carries its own risk. A personal triathlon insurance policy runs all year across all three disciplines, at home and abroad, whatever country you live in.

FAQ

What starters ask before the Vosges weekend

Yes. Bodily injury during the swim leg is covered, including an emergency lift from the water. Medical costs and assistance apply from the moment the safety crew reaches you.

No. This is not cancellation insurance. The policy covers the bodily consequences of an accident, not your entry, not your hotel in the valley, not your travel to the start.

It confirms cover for racing under official rules, where timing, rankings and federation oversight apply. The same option follows you through the season, so your other races and long training rides are covered too.

Yes. Cover does not depend on where you live. An overseas starter is insured on the course, and repatriation to their home address is handled at actual cost.

The price depends on the formula you pick and whether you insure a single event or a full season. The AxeoSport online quote returns an exact figure in a couple of minutes, with no commitment.
