Julian Alps and HIGHLANDER route can be inaccessible, and communications can be patchy. In case of injury, you will need to notify HIGHLANDER staff at checkpoints and/or call emergency services by calling 112 (as described in your HIGHLANDER ID received at registration).

Checkpoints are positioned to allow vehicle access. Consult checkpoint staff in case of a mild injury or if withdrawing from HIGHLANDER. However, organiser is not offering/ensuring any kind of transfer. The nearest public transport and nearest town/village in different areas will be presented in Highlander ID (booklet).

Staff will call or text you if you do not show up at the checkpoint during opening hours. If you are unavailable, we will NOT start a search and rescue.  Search, and rescue will be launched by the appropriate services only in cases of immediate danger to a participant’s life or health.
