The dedication to the Germans (district of Innsbruck-Land) in October of the previous year on the Tyrolean Hohe Mund, the local mountain, frozen Germans cost thousands of euros. Nobody paid him because the 21-year-old victim apparently had no insurance.
It was a terrible mountain drama that took place in the Mieminger Mountains on the Hohe -Bond (2663 m) at the beginning of October. A German (21) had an accident and frozen there. The inexperienced young man wanted to reach the top despite the unfavorable weather conditions.
Use more than three days
Three days – even at night – rescue the mountain of rescues from Leutasch, Telfs and Ehrwald as well as two helicopters to him. Finally, the Libelle Tyrol Police Helicopter Barg.
Mountain rescuers and emergency helicopters offer invoices for their missions, the Libelle Tyrol in the case of gross negligence. “A large -scale deployment of mountain range and this costs around 1000 euros at an hour,” says Michael Strigl, head of the Mountain Rescue in Leutasch.
Hours and costs are correct. Mountain Cost Insurance, because they contain the sponsoring membership of the Tyroolean Mountain Rescue and Membership in the Austrian Alpine Association (ÖAV), would have covered most operating costs. However, the victim did not have this. “In the end, the money for the Mountain Rescue was unrestrained,” says Strigl.
2000 insurance cases
Around 2000 “Damage cases” in the context with the insurance were reported to the ÖAV in 2024. In this context, ÖAV -Secretary -General Clemens Matt criticizes the Helicops: “The minute of the flight in South Tirol, Germany and Switzerland is much cheaper than in Tyrol.”
Everyone who thinks the mountain rescues would ‘earn’ money. The money of missions is not even enough to finance training and administration. And the mountain rescues even have to pay for their own equipment.
Against this background, Bergfexe is still on tour without insurance – and then do not pay. Question: What are 36 euros in financing, including insurance in the Bergen ratio in the reach of five digitage?
