The group had big plans: it would be a multi-day walk. The 59-year-old German marched with four companions the Gamshütte along the Zillertaler Höhenweg towards Friesenberghaus.
Wanderer remained motionless
The fatal accident finally happened around 10:30 am. The 59-year-old suddenly tripped near a ledge and fell about five meters before lying motionless in the area.
By helicopter to the clinic
His companions immediately started the rescue chain and provided first aid. The seriously injured man was then rescued by the emergency medical helicopter and flown to the clinic in Innsbruck.
