In Switzerland, a hospital stay after an enduro crash is expensive, especially for a rider who does not live there. A broken wrist, a dislocated shoulder or a deep cut on Valais scree: our medical cover up to €150,000 pays for treatment, hospital care and surgery.
In the Valais Alps, evacuation from a high-altitude trail is often by helicopter, as no road comes close. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost covers that transport from the crash site, then your journey home once your condition is stable enough to travel.
An enduro round mixes sometimes long transfers with timed stages where riders push every limit. The Competition option covers you in official competition at Bellwald, then at every other race on your programme for the season, under the same policy.
On alpine terrain made of slabs and boulders, a blow to the head or spine can leave lasting effects. Once a permanent disability is recognised, the permanent disability benefit of up to €200,000 is paid to you to help reorganise your daily and working life.
Around Bellwald, stages start high on alpine terrain exposed to quick changes in the weather. A July storm, a cold wind or sudden fog cuts both grip and visibility. Add the fatigue of the transfers and thinner air, and braking too late or clipping a pedal on a rock is all it takes to go down.
Enduro and downhill riding go far beyond race days, at bike parks, on trips or on rides with friends. Your personal accident insurance stays active in training and in competition, at home and abroad. To stay protected all year, discover our downhill mountain bike insurance and the cover it brings.
A village in the Upper Valais perched above the Goms valley, Bellwald hosts the UCI MTB World Series enduro round under the Aletsch Arena name. The Aletsch Glacier, the longest in the Alps, lies in this region, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Is your enduro weekend a mix of course walks, practice and stages that sit far apart? We insure all your participants under a single policy. Medical assistance can be reached day and night, seven days a week, during the event, and repatriation is included. We can also be a partner or sponsor of your race.
Yes. Cover applies whatever your country of residence, at home and abroad. A rider from Italy, Germany or Canada is covered in exactly the same way on the Valais stages.
Yes. Assistance and repatriation covers evacuation from the crash site at actual cost, including when rescuers decide on an airlift because of the terrain, then your return home, within the policy terms.
No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance: entry, accommodation and transport are not refunded. The policy only steps in after a bodily injury, for medical care, assistance and permanent disability.
Healthcare costs are high there, and alpine terrain often means a complex evacuation. A crash on a stage can quickly run up a large bill, which AxeoSport personal accident insurance pays within the limits of its cover.
The price depends on the length of cover, your profile and whether you choose the Competition option. The online quote gives you your price straight away, with no commitment, for this round or your whole season.
