Mountain and Air Rescue

The volunteer mountain rescue team of Val Gardena is ready to go all year round. Call 112 to place your emergency call. N.B.: helicopter rescue missions are not free. Info: www.aiut-alpin-dolomites.com
The subscription cost for the full year amounts to Euro 40,00 per person or Euro 60,00 for the whole family and is valid in all Europe. Keep in mind that this is a service which should be contacted only in case of extreme emergency!

For emergencies, always use 112 or the "Where Are U" app

Emergency calls must always be made exclusively via the European emergency number 112 or through the official app “Where Are U”.
The Where Are U app allows you to contact 112 with a single tap (where available), automatically sending your exact location and any personal information stored in the app (such as name, phone number, medical details, or emergency contacts). This helps rescue teams locate you faster and respond more efficiently.
