Praktical information
Emergency numbers
112 / 144: European / Swiss emergency number. In fact, it doesn't matter if you need the police (117), fire brigade (118), or ambulance (144), it is all processed by the same center. Call this number for which it is intended: only in emergency!
REGA
1414 REGA. In Switzerland you can rely on the mountain rescue service: the REGA. They will save you at all times, but whether the costs must be paid by you depends on your insurance. The mountain rescue campaign will also be free of charge if you have a membership with REGA. It is therefore advisable to take out an insurance policy with the KBF when hiking in Switzerland or to become a member of the REGA (CHF 30).
