Terms, conditions of the service and privacy policy

Responsibility

Absolute safety does not exist in the mountains, hiking is not without dangers (including the potential risk of injury and death), even if accompanied by an international mountain leader. The leader undertakes to make weighted assessments and take reasonable decisions by informing the client of these, however he will never be able to exclude any risk. This is why the customer's sense of responsibility is also crucial for maintaining a good level of security. By registering for an activity, you accept the residual risk margin implicit in the activity itself, thus renouncing any claim for compensation for damages and attributing responsibility to the leader.

Insurance

The LAREFA accompaniment service includes insurance for all its customers who are not CAI (Italian Alpine Club) members which covers search and recovery costs in Europe in case of necessity and emergency (repatriation not included).

If this is not agreed, credit will be made for any advance amount, for a future exit or fully reimbursed. This decision will be made in mutual agreement with the customer.
