Slope Rescue

On all Dolomiti Superski ski slopes you can rest assured that in the case of accident (excluding helicopter rescue) you'll be taken free of charge from the slope to the ambulance.

We really hope that will never be necessary.
Emergency service on the slopes has been taken on in Val Gardena, as well as in other destinations, by the Carabinieri of Ortisei for over 30 years.
Some volunteers of the Red Cross, the Aiut Alpin Dolomites and other local rescue services have finally cooperated, too.
The functions of the Carabinieri are to coordinate the rescue service and assure the safeness on the slopes in order that all skiers can ski down without concern.
