Yes, travel insurance is required for the hiking trip. It is important to purchase a travel insurance that suits your individual needs and covers the entire duration of your travels, including inbound and outbound transportation, the hiking trip, and any additional traveling. This will ensure that you are protected in case of any unexpected events or incidents during your trip. As a minimum your travel insurance must include coverage for costs associated with: helicopter evacuation, search and rescue, medical and repatriation; adequate for hiking activities accompanied by a guide to the maximum altitude listed in the itinerary (notionally 3000 m / 9850 ft or less). Travel insurance is not included in the trip price and it is important that you arrange it separately with your preferred provider. If you have an annual travel insurance policy please check that it meets the minimum requirements. For greater protection for our participants, we recommend you select travel insurance which covers: costs associated with unforeseen cancellation of any part of your travels, costs due to flight cancellations or delays, and lost or stolen luggage.
