  Sport Travelling mountaineering

  I have climbed in the Alps for fifteen years, and I always thought mountaineering insurance was a scam – until my partner fell into a hidden crevasse on the Oberland glacier. He was roped up, so he only fell ten meters, but his leg was pinned by ice. It took us three hours to get him out, and his foot was already turning purple. The Swiss helicopter rescue was spectacular – the pilot landed on the glacier within 30 minutes. But the flight to the hospital in Interlaken cost 8,500 Swiss francs, and the surgery for his crushed metatarsals added another 25,000. My partner had no insurance. I paid for everything with my credit card, and it took me two years to recover financially. After that, I bought an annual mountaineering policy from Sport Travelling — https://sportravelling.com/mountaineering/ Now I climb with peace of mind. Their app even has a feature that shares your location with rescue services if you don’t check in after a climb. That is not just insurance – that is a guardian angel in your pocket.
