We always recommend checking the exact policy on your confirmation.<\/p>\n<h3>Insurance requirements and estimated costs<\/h3>\n<p>We require proof of <strong>travel medical insurance<\/strong> for many international campers and strongly recommend <strong>cancellation insurance<\/strong>. Typical expectations and cost ranges we see:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cancellation insurance:<\/strong> <strong>CHF 40\u2013150<\/strong> per camper depending on the trip value.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Travel medical insurance:<\/strong> minimum cover often requested around <strong>CHF 100,000<\/strong> for medical costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We ask families to upload policy evidence before arrival so we can confirm coverage. We can point you to <strong>recommended insurers<\/strong> on request.<\/p>\n<h3>Visa assistance and documentation<\/h3>\n<p>We provide <strong>invitation\/confirmation letters<\/strong> on request to support <strong>Schengen visa<\/strong> applications. Processing times vary, so you should allow <strong>2\u20138 weeks<\/strong>.
