The County Public Salvamont Service of Maramureș (Serviciul Public Județean Salvamont Maramureș) is a county-council institution which, under Government Decision No. 77/2003, coordinates accident prevention and rescue in the mountains of its county: it patrols trails, staffs rescue bases and refuges, searches for missing people, gives first aid and takes the injured to hospital. According to the National Association of Romanian Mountain Rescuers it was founded in 2018. The service is a member of the County Emergency Committee and coordinates search and rescue in the mountains and hard-to-reach places of the county; it runs four rescue bases and several mountain refuges.

How to call for help

Call the National Salvamont Dispatch on '0SALVAMONT' (on a phone keypad, zero followed by the word SALVAMONT; the digits are shown below) or dial 112. The dispatcher passes the call straight to the rescuers of your county. The official Salvamont app sends dispatchers your coordinates, altitude and battery level, but it works only with phone numbers registered in Romania; with a foreign SIM, phone instead.

When you call, give:

  • your name and phone number;
  • what happened (injury, illness, people lost);
  • where and when it happened and how many people need help;
  • the condition of the injured;
  • the weather on site.

After the call, stay where there is mobile coverage and wait for the rescuers; give first aid, shelter from bad weather and keep the injured warm.

Area and stations

The service covers the Romanian Maramureș Mountains, the northern Rodna mountains with the highest peak Pietrosul and Lake Știol, the volcanic Gutâi and Igniș mountains and Țibleș. Bases: Mogoșa near Baia Sprie, Izvoare, Vișeu de Sus and Moisei; refuges at the Prislop pass, by Lake Știol, at the top station of the Borșa gondola and Șaua.

Good to know

  • The same '0SALVAMONT' number also answers questions about weather and trail conditions — call before you set out.
  • The Salvamont app does not work with foreign numbers — save the dispatch number in your phone in advance.
  • The Maramureș Mountains border Ukraine: crossing the border outside checkpoints is not allowed.
