I am going to Peru in June. One of the days I trek and camp at 4215m but my current insurer only covers to 4000m.

Can I get insurance to cover the one day that I am above 4000m?

thanks

    Have you contacted your insurer directly to explain the situation and ask if they will cover it?
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Maybe Alpenverein will cover the trip instead?  Not sure if they do Peru or just Europe.

    British mountaIneering BMC insurance will cover you. Be very careful taking cover for a holiday that has already started, it might be better to cover the whole trip starting in the U.K.
