| If the insurance was based in the UK you would need to read the policy, almost certanly excluded.
I ski off piste 50 days a year, I have the French Carte Neige that does cover off piste. Pretty sure that normal Swiss accident insurance would cover as well.
However if the avalanvhe risk was 5/5 I think you would have a problem. FWIW when it's 3/5 the majority of people die! approx 65% in France nearer 80% in Switzerland.
Due to low snow fall & very low temperatures the snow pack will remain very dangerous for the entire season, the base has 'goblet' Ice crystals, so expect many avalanches down to ground level.
The risk is lower on slopes below 30 degrees. | |

Based on your recommendation, can you tell me which level of Carte Neige card I require for off-piste/backcountry skiing.
I'm trying to buy the card online through this link
https://www2.ffs.fr/carteneige/online and not sure which one ... I'm thinking the Medium coverage.
Using the link
https://carreneige.com/ seems to only offer the possibility to buy in certain resorts and Chamonix (where I'm heading) is not listed.
