How long can you stay in Luxembourg?

Luxembourg is in the Schengen Area, so most visa-free visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window. The window moves with you — a spring trip to another Schengen country comes out of the same 90 days, so a long autumn season here can run you out sooner than you would expect.

Insurance that covers climbing

Most standard travel policies exclude rock climbing, and a lot of them exclude riding a scooter too. Check your own policy first — and if it does not cover you, this is the one I use.

Covers rock climbing, which most standard travel policies exclude
Buy it after you have already left home, and extend it monthly if you stay in Luxembourg longer
Emergency medical cover and evacuation, which is the part that actually matters
