Safety on the mountain
Safety on the mountain -Deep snow, untouched slopes and fantastic descents. As soon as the first snow falls, every enthusiastic tourer, freerider and freetourer is drawn unstoppably into the mountains. But if you want to enjoy the pleasure off the marked slopes and in unsecured terrain, you should also know exactly about the possible risks and dangers and get informed!
Alpine Rescue
Alpine Rescue Switzerland (ARS) provides terrestrial rescue services for people in need and in need of help in the alpine, pre-alpine and difficult to access areas of Switzerland and neighbouring countries.
Alpine Rescue Switzerland is an independent, non-profit foundation, supported by Rega and the Swiss Alpine Club SAC. It is, among other things, the point of contact for the cantons which - with the exception of the canton of Valais - have transferred their terrestrial rescue tasks in the mountains to ARS. The 90 rescue stations of the seven regional clubs are distributed over the foothills of the Alps/Alps and Jura in such a way that the 3,000 rescuers organised in them today can reach a scene of action in the shortest possible time.
