International Alliance and Specialized Insurance
Asociación Socorro Andino Peruano (S.A.P.), in strategic alliance with Global Mountain Rescue S.A.C., is developing the first project in Peru aimed at integrating a network of associates and professionals specialized in high-altitude search and rescue, strengthening national and international cooperation to respond to emergencies in hard-to-reach mountains.
As part of this initiative, and thanks to collaboration with professional rescuers from Austria, an important partnership has been established with Bergrettung Tirol (Tyrol Mountain Rescue), a prestigious non-profit organization in Austria comprised of over 4,500 highly trained volunteer rescuers whose mission is to provide assistance and rescue injured or endangered persons in the alpine regions of Tyrol.
Within the framework of this international cooperation, we consider it essential to promote the implementation of specialized insurance for accidents, search, and rescue in high-altitude mountains, designed to cover operations in extreme and hard-to-reach environments.
Our proposal contemplates coverage to protect mountaineers, guides, and rescuers on expeditions exceeding the altitude of Huascarán Sur Peak (6,768 m a. s. l.), the highest mountain in Peru, ensuring adequate coverage for rescue operations anywhere along the Andes Mountain Range.
