A series of serious skiing accidents took place in Tyrol this weekend, including in the Zillertal, where two holidaymakers collided on the slopes. The German (49) and the 17-year-old Dutch woman suffered significant injuries.
The devastating collision took place shortly after 1 p.m. in the Hochzillertal ski area in the municipality of Kaltenbach. On the so-called On the ‘Wedelexpress descent’ at 2,150 meters above sea level, the 49-year-old German and the 17-year-old teenager from the Netherlands fell together at full force.
