Insurance Information

All clients of ISM must have insurance cover for mountain rescue and medical costs resulting from an accident in the mountains (also On and Off-Piste skiing for Ski Tours). This cover is not provided by normal travel insurance.

UK RESIDENTS may obtain full mountaineering insurance cover from the following organisations/companies:

Snowcard (tel: +44 (0)1327 262805, web: www.snowcard.co.uk).
BMC (tel: +44 (0)161 445 4747, web: www.thebmc.co.uk).

If mountaineering insurance is not available in their home countries, NON-UK RESIDENTS can obtain automatic cover for rescue and some medical costs (resulting from an accident) by joining the Austrian Alpine Club (tel: +44 (0)1707 324835, web: www.aacuk.org.uk.). AAC insurance gives far more limited cover especially re medical expenses, and we recommend supplementing it with cover such as IHI Bupa travel insurance (https://global.ihi.com/travel%20insurance.aspx) which can be paid in any currency and offers cancellation cover as an optional extra.

Please check that your insurance covers cancellation
