If you are feeling the call of Chamonix (or other Alpine destinations) then we are here to help provide peace of mind with expert help to find Mountaineering Life Insurance, Income Protection and Critical Illness Cover suitable for you and your Alpine climbing and mountaineering aspirations.

At Summit Financial Services we understand the needs of climbers and mountaineers. Whether you are a new Alpine climber getting to grips with new skills (like crevasse rescue), a seasoned mountaineer adding to your tick list or you are a professional mountain guide then please give us a call to discuss your needs or click the button above to enquire online.

Through time many climbers have also approached us for cover for their many other sporting interests (e.g. canoeing/kayaking, skiing, cycling, and more….) and we are always happy to help – just give us a call to discuss your needs.

As a quick guide for climbers and mountaineers, if you are looking for a lump sum of cash to be paid following an accident or natural death then you may want to consider speaking to us about Life Insurance. Alternatively, if you are concerned that a climbing or mountaineering accident may leave you unable to work then an Income Protection policy may be another consideration for you. In addition, you can also speak to us about Critical Illness Cover and the benefits it could provide you and your family.
