Insurance for alpin climbing

All alpine climbing skiing involves a risk. We recommend you to review your insurance before your trip.

Mountain rescue is free in Sweden. However, it might be good to review your accidents insurance.

The Alps and other countries
In France, the mountain rescue is free as in Sweden. In the rest of the world, however, mountain rescue (by helicopter) can be costly.
