Due to calamities in the Tyrolean mountains, the emergency doctor helicopter and the police helicopter were needed on Tuesday afternoon. In the municipality of Finkenberg in the Zillertal, a German (25) fell into a crevasse. Four holidaymakers were surprised by a thunderstorm on a via ferrata in Innsbruck.
The first action took place around 2 p.m. After climbing the “Großer Möseler”, a group of four Germans descended via the “Westlichen Nevesferner”, the “Ostliche Möselscharte” and the “Waxegkees”. “At an altitude of 3150 meters, the alpinists had to overcome a gorge. They decided to erect a T-anchor to prevent them from falling into the crevice,” police said. After three men overcame the hole, the 25-year-old removed the protection on the mountainside. At the same time, the group placed a new T-anchor on the side of the valley so they could cross as well.
“When she stepped onto the snow bridge, it collapsed and the woman fell about four meters into the opening, where she hit the edge.” The German sustained deep lacerations to her left leg. The group decided to place a distress call. The ambulance helicopter flew the woman to Schwaz hospital.
Holidaymakers surprised by thunderstorm
The second and third missions took place two hours later. Two rope teams were surprised by a thunderstorm on the via ferrata west of the “Kemacher” via ferrata. “So they had to start the rescue chain.” Two Czech holidaymakers were rescued by the crew of the police helicopter shortly after 4 pm and two Danish holidaymakers shortly before 5 pm. They were flown into the valley with mild hypothermia.
