Terrible mountain drama in Tyrol! A German hiker (54) fell into a gully on New Year’s Day on his way to the Bärenbadalm in the presence of four comrades. The man suffered fatal injuries.
On Monday the group of five walked in Pertisau am Achensee (Schwaz district) from the Zwölferkopf via the Bärenbadalm towards the Bärenkopf. “Because of the snow and slippery surfaces, the group decided to turn around around 2 p.m. and go to the Bärenbadalm,” police said.
Slid over frozen avalanche cones
Around 3 p.m., the 54-year-old German slipped, fell about ten meters over steep terrain into a gully and then slid another 20 meters on a frozen avalanche cone. He probably died instantly.
The body recovered the next day
The man’s companions were flown unharmed into the valley by the emergency medical helicopter. “Recovery of the body was no longer possible due to darkness and will take place on Tuesday,” the director said.
