» (SPL) is an online service for the selection of unique insurance programs for lovers of sports and outdoor activities, where you can always find the latest offers from the best insurance companies.

Off-piste skiing or snowboarding requires special preparation before entering the snowy slopes, especially if you are skiing outside the resorts where their rescue services are responsible for you.

Especially for the Yeti Guide Bureau, we have prepared recommendations for issuing insurance policies for freeride, backcountry, heli-skiing and ski tours, depending on the ski area.

What kind of insurance policy should I have for off-piste skiing?

Option I - TCD insurance policy

Insurance policy for traveling abroad (VZR) * or traveling in Russia, as a rule, includes:

Medical expenses:

For outpatient treatment, stay and treatment in a hospital, including diagnostics.

Medical transport costs:

On search, evacuation (transportation by an ambulance or other appropriate medical vehicle, including a helicopter) from the scene on the territory of temporary stay to the nearest medical institution or to a doctor located in close proximity;

Transportation of the Insured Person from one clinic to another in case of medical necessity;

For emergency medical repatriation from the territory of temporary stay by a vehicle corresponding to the medical condition, including expenses for the accompanying person.

Travel expenses (return ticket home, etc.)

Hotel accommodation expenses

Posthumous repatriation expenses

Additional costs (may be telephone charges, baggage loss insurance, civil liability insurance, etc.)

* When traveling through the territory of the Russian Federation, it is important to know that under the terms of insurance of insurance companies, the administrative-territorial unit indicated in the policy as the Territory of Insurance, must not be the place of permanent residence of the Insured. For persons permanently residing in Russia and / or having Russian citizenship - this is the administrative-territorial unit in which the Insured is registered: city, rural settlement (village, village, farm, aul, rural-type settlement, etc.), settlement and a subject equal to them in the level of classification. You should always carefully look at the insurance rules of each insurance company. companies.

The cost of the insurance policy depends on the choice of the insurance company, the terms of insurance, the geography of skiing, the age of the Insured, and the type of sport.

On average, the cost of a VZR policy for freeriding in Russia varies from 400 R per day.

II option - policy "Accident" (NS)

This is a type of voluntary insurance, when in case of injury or acute poisoning, temporary disability, disability or death of the Insured person as a result of an accident, the Insurer makes an insurance payment upon application within the limits of the sum insured specified by the contract.

In the event of an insured event, the insurance benefit is calculated as a percentage of the sum insured for the given risk according to the Table of Insurance Benefits.

For example: if you bought an Accident policy from IC "Consent" with insurance coverage of 500,000 R, then in case of a shoulder fracture and tendon rupture, a payment will be made to the Insured in the amount of 20% of 500,000 rubles, which will amount to 100,000 R. The cost of such a policy will be 200 R per day.

This type of insurance program is suitable for those who live and ride in the area of ​​​​the administrative-territorial unit in which they are registered, and this policy is cheaper than the TCD policy.

Also, the accident policy is suitable for those who ski in the area of ​​ski resorts, where first aid is provided by the rescue services of the resorts.

III option - Combined insurance policy (VZR + HC)

The combined insurance policy consists of HC + TCD described above.

Under this insurance policy, you will receive not only a list of services rendered on the spot, but also monetary compensation according to the Table of Insurance Benefits.

So which policy should I choose for off-piste?

The choice of a suitable type of insurance primarily depends on the place of permanent residence of the Insured and the ski area.

When should I take out an insurance policy?

You need to issue an insurance policy on the eve of the day of skiing, it is impossible to issue a policy on the same day.

Can I cancel my insurance policy if I am unable to participate in the program?

If you have issued an accident policy of IC "Consent" - then you can cancel it the next day when you cancel your participation in the program. The money for the policy is returned in the amount of 100%.

If you have taken out a VZR or VZR + NS insurance policy, then the possibility of canceling the insurance policy and refunding money on it depends on the rules of insurance of the insurance company.

Can I insure a child?

Yes, you can insure your child under any type of insurance. To do this, some insurance companies may require personal data of parents.

You can apply for an insurance policy on the website www.saveprolife.ru and receive it by e-mail, as well as call 8 800 250 87 58.

Important! The insurance policy must take into account the chosen sport!
Remember! CHI provides primary health care, emergency medical care (with the exception of specialized (sanitary and aviation) emergency medical care), and specialized medical care.

These lands were new for us, we went in the direction of Kardyvach, but not here yet.

On the way from Pikhtovaya Polyana to the Bzerpsky cornice, one could admire all the ski slopes that are in Krasnaya Polyana. I took a photo of the Rosa Khutor tracks, which are still being prepared.

Finally, the Bzerp cornice:

Beautiful there! And the views from the "cornice" are good:

About animals (not wild :): from Gazprom itself, two dogs became attached to us, we called them Belka and Strelka. Such businessmen ran, sort of like on their own business, but at the same time they followed us. At the halt, Strelka fell asleep, and Belka ran on with us. A large group of boys and girls stomped behind us, led by an adult leader (those lagging behind were terribly whining))), and now after some time we see - Strelka woke up, caught up with them and runs further :) In this photo on the right you can see dogs, and We couldn't take more pictures of them: the inhabitants of the house were indignant that we were violating the reserved regime and dragged them here. To which we objected that we didn’t invite them here, and the dogs were driven down, but it’s a pity, I managed to become attached to them, and in general it was fun to go in their company, although, on the other hand, we still don’t have food for them It was:)

But I didn’t have to miss the living creatures for a long time, because. The Stupid Horse followed us :) Later, we learned that he literally followed all the tourists, interfered with some of them to have dinner, trying to steal food directly from the bowl, we also found out that the animal eats lard and sausage, is not inclined to bring benefits and is nicknamed Geser (it seems that this is from the Day or Night Watch, I don’t understand them :)) We drove him away as best we could, but he didn’t care. It turned out that we tried in vain: he didn’t want to climb far into the Pslukh valley himself, he liked hanging out along the Bzerpi, there are more people there, there is someone to pick up :))

The sharp cone of Pseashkho Sakharny was visible along the way, and it seemed completely unrealistic that tomorrow we would be there at the very top - for some reason it always seems so :)

We turned into the valley of Pslukh, the path went on top, leaving the river far below. It was getting cloudy, I don’t have any good photos of this area. The first tributary of the Pslukh had to be forded.

The second tributary could be crossed over a snow bridge. Behind him we set up camp. Along the way, we met a good man Misha with his family, including little Tatyana, who had already been in the mountains several times, carried her own backpack and was generally good :) Misha also wanted to climb Pseashkho, and we decided to spend the night together and climb the four of us in the morning.

Got up at half past five. From the camp there was a good view of Agepsta, Turya Gory and Aibga.

It was necessary to go horizontally only some 2-3 kilometers, but climb 1000 meters up :)
The camp lay in the shade, and during the ascent, the sun suddenly hit right in the face.

Chugush appeared.

Slowly clouds began to appear. We must have left too late. But there is still visibility. And it's far from the top... :)

Finally got in!

I did not make a circular panorama, because it was too cloudy from the northwest.

The note on the top was already October. Looks like we're not the only ones who forget to take a pen with us :) There was nothing to write our own, we did not shoot this one, we returned it to its place.

We sat just a little and it's time to go down, as if not to fall into the fog.

There were more and more clouds, and several times we rested, sitting on the ridge and watching them rise from the valleys, thicken and disperse, open and close the views around, go from right to left, left to right, top to bottom ... It was like 3D movie on big screen :)

The next photo is very remarkable, and I know a couple of people who will be happy with it)))) I lay down and say something like: “Oh, how wonderful these flowers smell!” And Mitya says: “Anya, you are lying with your head right in the turkey poop!”)))

Our top was sometimes opened so that we could see where we had just been.

Here we can see our camp.

We need to pack up and go, but I really want to sit idle ... :)

In general, we wanted to reach the Jitaku lakes that day. But we got down from the top quite late. The ascent took 4 hours, the descent - I do not remember. We decided - let's go, as far as we can get.

The clouds descended into the valley of Psluh, and then the sun came out again.

Further, our path lay through the Pseashkho pass. I really wanted to see this pass. It is of the valley type. That is, you walk, you walk along the valley, and you don’t notice any passes at all. But flowing water (and also a cyclist :)) notices any slope. And now the streams running down from the mountains flow towards you, to the south. And after some invisible point, new streams begin to run with you along the way - to the north. At this very point, the southern and northern slopes of the Western Caucasus are divided, so different! The waters of those streams will fall into the Black Sea, and these - into the Kuban.

We are a little tortured at the point where the pass is marked on the map:

We spent the night at Maloye Lake, deciding to run to the rest of the lakes in the morning, if the weather permits. I don’t have a lake in the photo, but there is a Magnificent Bump! This stream flows from the lake and flows into the nearby Urushten. The bump conquered me, I didn’t even step on it to cross this “groove” :)

In the morning it was raining and foggy, and we decided to leave the lakes for another time. Or rather, there was nothing to decide - it was so nice to set the alarm clock two hours ahead and sleep even under the sound of rain ... we barely woke up :)

Here are some other stones in the creeping fog that I came across interesting:

And on the way back there wasn't much to see.

Height - 3190 meters above sea level, is part of the Pseashkho mountain range and the Caucasian Biosphere Reserve. The name “Pseashkho” itself is translated from the Adyghe language as “Mountain of Water” and, apparently, indicates to us that several mountain rivers flowing from glaciers originate on the tops of the mountain range.

However, it is worth noting the second name of the peak - "Sugar Loaf". The fact is that the top in appearance resembles a cone, and in ancient times refined sugar was produced exclusively in the form of “sugar heads” of just such a conical shape. It is also curious that this name was given by the inhabitants of Krasnaya Polyana themselves, while the rest of the names were assigned to the peaks of the massif by the workers of the Caucasian Biosphere Reserve.

Estosadok - r. Achipse - hr. Psekokho - Bzerpinsky cornice - r. Psluh - peak Sugar Pseashkho

I did not plan a trip to the peak of Sugar Pseashkho. My friend invited me to walk in the area of ​​Mount Pseashkha and said that it would be possible to visit a rather high peak. I was intrigued.
In the morning we (there were four of us) left Sochi. At 9 o'clock we arrived in Adler to buy passes to the reserve. At 10.30 we passed Krasnaya Polyana and stopped at the bridge over the Achipse River, next to Estosadok. From the cardon of the reserve, we took a little ride on a passing tourist bus to the menagerie. Then we crossed to the left bank of the Achipse River, along some kind of metal structure. Then we went along the unpaved road upstream of the Laura. Then there was a long exhausting serpentine to the Psehoko ridge. Trucks drive on the ridge (Gazprom is building a cable car). In the evening we already went to the alpine zone, not far from the Bzerpen cornice. And already in the evening, before sunset, they approached the booth on the Bzerpen cornice. There were 3 people in the booth (2 men and a woman). These people are lovers of beautiful mountain photos. In general, we had to spend the night seven of us. It was tight. Frost lay on the grass in the morning. We (two of our four) decided to climb the Sakharny Pseashkho peak, our other two decided to go to the Kholodny camp. And three photographers went to Semiozerye. We (my friend and I) got up early, had a quick meal and hit the road. we had a lot to go on that day. My friend, as always, was walking very fast and I lagged behind him. On that day, we had neither halts nor snacks. I walked for about 10 hours. In general, we rounded two spurs, crossed two streams and began to climb the peak of Sugar Pseashkho. To the west - almost sheer cliffs, to the east - more gently, but also not very similar. We climbed straight up the rocky ridge. Then we crossed a small glacier and climbed along the southwestern spur. So we climbed to the top of the peak. The weather deteriorated slightly, the clouds covered many peaks from view. But nevertheless, the view from the top of the peak is very impressive. For some reason, getting down was more dangerous than climbing up (maybe he was just tired). I was already approaching the booth alone (my partner ran ahead), slightly swaying from fatigue.
The second night 5 people spent the night in a booth (we were 2 and 3 photographers). The bed was comfortable (not cramped). The next morning we had a quick meal and by 11 o'clock we had already gone down to the car at Estosad. After dinner I was already at home.
I liked the hike very much. I especially want to note that it was the Main Caucasian Range itself, and therefore the view of the mountains was already "more serious" and rather severe. I haven't seen this before.
