The following services may be of help should problems arise:

 Polizia (police) Tel 113

 Health-related urgencies including ambulanza (ambulance) and soccorso alpino (mountain rescue) Tel 118

 ‘Help!’ in Italian is Aiuto!, pronounced ‘eye-you-tow’, and Zu Hilfe! in German.

Should help be needed, use the following internationally recognised rescue signals: six signals per minute either visual (waving a handkerchief or flashing a torch) or audible (shouting or whistling), repeated after a pause of one minute. The answer is three visual or audible signals per minute, to be repeated after a one-minute pause. Anyone who sees or hears a call for help must contact the nearest mountain hut or police station, as quickly as possible.

The hand-signals in the following diagram could be useful for communicating at a distance or with a helicopter.

In Lombardia if you call out Mountain Rescue, let them know your location by referring to the numerical code found on the back of all path signposts.
