"Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean." (John Muir)

Air Zermatt (Alpine Rescue Center) has the knowledge and experience in mountain medicine and has been performing thousands of rescues on the highest peaks in the Swiss Alps under difficult conditions.
