Safety

All-round care

Your safety comes first

Safety is the top priority at Innsbruck Alpine. Our entire event concept is geared towards ensuring that everything runs responsibly and smoothly, both on and off the trails. To this end, we rely on clear structures, reliable processes, and measures that support the protection of all participants. This fundamental approach accompanies you from start to finish—on every section of the route.

Better safe than sorry

Mountain Insurance

Mountain rescue insurance is mandatory equipment, so every runner must have it. If you don’t have it yet, you can protect yourself against unexpected costs with mountain rescue insurance from our partner WIENER STÄDTISCHE Insurance. Accidents in the terrain pose a risk that should not be underestimated, often with expensive consequences! Rescue from rough terrain can entail high financial costs, and the use of a rescue helicopter and necessary ambulance transport often involve considerable expenses.

What many people don’t know is that operations of this kind, especially in the mountains, often have to be paid for by the people involved. With mountain rescue insurance from our partner WIENER STÄDTISCHE Versicherung, we can protect you from unexpected costs for just €10!

Friend and Helper

Route Safety

Numerous marshals are stationed along the routes to show you the way. For each distance, sweepers accompany the back of the field and ensure that no one is left behind. We provide you with drinks and snacks at all refreshment stations so that your body has sufficient energy at all times.
