    Even countries with universal health insurance usually won’t cover helicopter rescue, you need travel insurance which covers mountaineering. Or you have to risk paying, it’s like 5k I’ve heard.

      My girlfriend had to be air lifted by helicopter in New Zealand. They didn’t want our insurance details, because their local insurance covered us already. This was in 2010, so no idea of this would still apply.
