All help came too late on Monday for a German alpinist (60) during a hike in the Mayrhofen area in the Tyrolean Zillertal. The man fell about 60 meters after he had probably tripped before. The police helicopter “Libelle” flew the body into the valley.
The tragic accident happened around 12:30 p.m. According to initial information from “Krone”, the 60-year-old was traveling with a hiking group in the Krummschnabelmesser area. The group was probably a few meters ahead of the German. “He probably tripped and then fell,” a police spokesman said.

The police helicopter “Libelle” has recovered the body and flown into the valley.
