Though most hikers are aware of them and make a prompt effort to get them, there are still so many Myths, Mistakes, and Misconceptions about travel insurance.

Most insurers cover up to 3500 - 4000 m altitude. Only a few insurers cover above 4000 m, but usually with extra high premiums. Any new alternatives?

This seminar is tailored for travel enthusiasts who regularly embark on exciting journeys, including adventurous activities like trekking beyond 3,000 meters.
