Trip Cancellation Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing trip insurance. Even with the best planning, unexpected circumstances—such as an injury or family emergency—may prevent you from joining your trip.
Because Alpine Ascents’ cancellation policies apply regardless of the reason for cancellation, trip insurance is often your best option for recovering non-refundable trip costs if you need to cancel after the refund deadline.
Alpine Ascents International offers a plan in conjunction with our travel insurance partner linked below, however you are welcome to use whatever insurance provider you prefer.
