Dedicated Volunteers: Upper Austrian Mountain Rescue

365 days a year, 24/7, the Upper Austrian mountain rescue team is always ready to provide quick and efficient assistance in alpine terrain for those in need. As a non-profit association, the rescue service's core tasks are carried out by volunteers. Being a mountain rescuer is not only a matter of honor but also requires dedication and commitment to face the challenges of working in inaccessible terrain and often unpredictable conditions.
