The La Thuile downhill is raced at high speed on ground that is often dry, dusty and full of loose rock in summer. Losing grip in a turn can mean a fracture, a dislocated shoulder or concussion. Our medical cover up to €150,000 pays for emergency care, hospital and surgery.
Injured high on the resort's slopes, you may be taken to a valley hospital and then face the trip home immobilised, far from your car. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost covers evacuation from the crash site and your return home, whether that is in France, the UK or anywhere else.
Whether you are entered in Olympic cross-country, downhill or enduro, racing raises the stakes. The Competition option covers you in official competition at La Thuile and at every other event on your calendar, with no need to take out a new policy for each race.
A full-speed crash on the Aosta Valley slopes can leave its mark: a stiff knee, a shoulder that never moves freely again, a back injury. Once a permanent disability is recognised, the permanent disability benefit of up to €200,000 helps you adapt your home, your work and your everyday life.
On a multi-discipline weekend, schedules are tight and riders juggle course walks, practice and race runs. At around 1,450 metres, July heat and dry air dehydrate you fast. Poor hydration, suspension set up for the wrong kind of ground or a helmet that does not suit the track can turn a small error into a serious crash.
Outside race weekends, mountain biking is still a sport with real crash risk, whether on group rides, at a bike park or on a cycling holiday. One personal accident policy follows you all year, in training and in competition, at home or abroad. To compare cover built for your riding, take a look at our mountain bike insurance.
A ski resort in the Aosta Valley, La Thuile hosts a round of the UCI MTB World Series that brings three disciplines together at a single venue. Spectators follow the riders along the course, from the lifts at the top all the way down to the finish area.
Does your event combine cross-country, downhill and enduro? We insure all your participants, whatever their discipline, under a single policy. During the race, medical assistance is available day and night, every day of the week. Repatriation is included. And if you like, we can also partner with or sponsor your event.
Yes. Cover follows the rider, not the discipline: cross-country, downhill and enduro are all included, in training and in racing. For official competition, just remember to add the Competition option.
No. At around 1,450 metres, La Thuile is a standard mountain venue under the policy. Medical care, evacuation from the course and repatriation apply exactly as they would at lower altitude.
No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance. It does not refund entry, transport or accommodation. It steps in after a bodily injury, for your medical care, your journey home and any permanent disability.
On-site rescue teams take you to a medical facility first. AxeoSport assistance then takes over to arrange your transfer and your return home, at actual cost, whatever your country of residence.
The price varies with the length of cover, your profile and the Competition option. Get an online quote: it is instant, free of commitment, and you can take out cover before you head to the Aosta Valley.
