So please become a REGA Patron. Same Price: 30 CHF / 20 EUR , but BASE-Jumping is still covered. REGA - Spokesman Gery Baumann: «Wir kennen kein Kleingedrucktes» Even if Air Glaciers does the rescue, you are still covered with a REGA patronage. It's easy: Credit card payment The closest REGA - heliport from Lauterbrunnen is Wilderswil. It's at the beginning of the Valley close to Interlaken. Heliport Wilderswil map I'm sure it's possible to get the REGA patronage there. So what's different now? Except you get the card from another company, nothing. If you need a heli rescue, call one of the following numbers: 1414 (swiss phones) or +41 333 333 333 (all phones) for REGA. +41 338 560 560 for Air Glaciers. It does not matter what company does the rescue, the Rega patronage covers you for both. Please remember, you still have to call Air Glaciers before every jump in the Lauterbrunnen valley. Thanks for your understanding The Swiss BASE Association |
