no idea Nov 26, 2025

No idea. I know they cover to certain ammount, than it is payable. All i know is that resque with a helicopter should be charged for sure! We have Alps in my country and the conditions, expecially in winters are many times underestimated. Foreigners basically climb in flip-flops...
