INSURANCE
It is recommended that you take out personal accident insurance. In the unlikely event of an emergency, this will cover you for the cost of evacuation from the mountains as well as medical attention.
Please read the small print before you take out personal travel insurance. Many providers do not provide cover up to and above 5,000m altitude.
If you needed to get to hospital urgently a helicopter ride off the mountain can be very expensive so we require every one on our trips to take out the necessary Medical evacuation insurance Cover. We suggest the following options:

Austrian Alpine Club
As an alternative we can also recommend becoming a member of the Austrian Alpine Club who would cover the costs of a medical evacuation in most parts of the world. We highly recommend this option especially if you are likely to need this sort of cover again internationally. For more information please click here
