Even with careful tour planning, injuries and illnesses in the context of mountaineering activities cannot be completely avoided. In order to be prepared for such exceptional situations, it helps to know the essential first aid steps in alpine terrain. The well-founded guide published by experienced alpine and emergency physicians from the Austrian mountain rescue service offers the necessary knowledge for this. The relevant first aid measures are described in a practice-oriented and simple manner and presented in words, pictures and videos.

Particular attention is paid to the special circumstances involved in providing first aid in alpine terrain, often in adverse weather conditions. Even a small amount of equipment can be used effectively and easily. In addition to the first-aid tips, there is also helpful information on how best to equip an emergency pharmacy in your backpack and on tried-and-tested rules of conduct on the mountain. The guide is aimed at all people who are out and about in the mountains, hikers, mountaineers, tourers, climbers, hunters, forest workers and paramedics alike.
