Mountain rescuers have intervened in emergency situations 241 times with 72 times using a helicopter.

Last year the mountain rescue service has helped 440 people, with more than 70 of those seriously injured. Seventeen climbers have lost their lives in 2013.

Accidents in the mountains are usually the result of improper equipment, overestimation of one's mental and physical abilities and inappropriate selection of routes.
