The rescue chief from Zermatt

Anjan Truffer

Anjan Truffer is head of the rescue station in Zermatt. His team, consisting of 14 mountain rescuers, goes into action when mountain rescues become a complicated matter. In this episode of the Alpha Zulu Podcast, Anjan Truffer expresses his willingness to support people in need. Nevertheless, he expresses clear criticism of mountaineers who climb mountains despite insistent warnings from experienced mountain guides. This is because it is not uncommon for rescue specialists to have to rescue precisely these climbers from emergencies.
