Climbing Insurance
We strongly recommend that you purchase insurance for both treks and climbs to protect you from the unexpected. Every year emergency evacuations are required for different trekking and climbing destinations. Being evacuated with a helicopter may cost +4,000 USD, plus all medical expenses subsequently incurred. Having insurance in place will therefore not only provide a sense of protection but also save you a lot of money in case of accidents.
While we are not experts within insurance we recommend the following:
- Always receive 2-3 offers from different insurance companies so as to get a reasonable price and also to obtain an idea about the different levels of insurance coverage.
- Pay especial attention to the level of altitude the insurance covers. Some trekking insurances only cover up to 3,000 m. Try to always make sure that the insurance you procure cover the level of altitudes you’ll be entering on your trek or peak adventure.
