Carte Neige Insurance

To fully enjoy your holidays, it is better to be well insured!

As the students are not insured by the ESF, we recommend the "Carte Neige".
This is why the ESF Bernex offers the Carte Neige to provide you with all the necessary insurance and assistance guarantees in the event of an accident during your stay.

With Carte Neige, during your stay, you benefit from the skills of the best professionals in the sector and complete services, from on-piste rescue to the reimbursement of ski passes and transport by ambulance.

You ensure your protection but also that of your family and limit the costs which in the mountains can often reach peaks.
So to ski with peace of mind and hit the slopes in complete serenity, alone, with family or friends, think Carte Neige.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
