Adventure Travel Insurance Companies

Because of the possibility of sustaining an injury during hiking and trekking, travel insurance is required for this trip. Below you will find four travel insurance companies offering various policies and services.  Be sure to purchase a policy that covers trekking and hiking at altitude and includes medical evacuation. Walk the World, LLC does not endorse or recommend any of these companies. You are encouraged to research options available to you.

​

Travel Guard provides coverage for trip cancellation as well as medical expense and medical evacuation insurance. Ask your Travel Guard representative for the plan that covers high altitude and mountaineering activities (involving a rope, crampons, and harness - Alpentraversale Trek only.)  The Dolomites and Rosengarten Treks do not require use of ropes, crampons, or harness, but you will want a policy that covers altitudes to 10,000 feet and the use of cables and ladders should the route include those.
