More importantly, what does the insurance provider think it is?
Hola @NorthernLight you are totally correct. If the mountain climb is described as a "technical climb" where ropes, crampons etc are required then it is mountaineering and usually most regular travel insurance policies wont cover you. I have climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and just had a regular policy (although I did opt for one that specifically included aerial medical evacuation back to Oz). I think you can even go to Everest Base Camp on a regular policy - its just high altitude trekking. CheersI associate mountaineering with ropes and vertical ascents.

That said I have used CoverMore Travel Insurance
As others have stated"Mountaineering" has specific definition and involves ropes and or climbing aids (may slightly vary from company to company). Therefore Camino coverage only requires walking/ trekking coverage.Hi everyone!
One month to my Lebaniego and I am very excited!
I always purchase travel insurance before I go anywhere. In previous caminos, the normal coverage was fine. For this trip in particular, considering the terrain of the Lebaniego, should I add the "mountaineering" extra to my insurance?
