Four young men from Germany sought adventure on Monday in the open ski area on the Pitztal Glacier in Tyrol. With their ski boots they wanted to cross a ridge at more than 3,100 meters above sea level. A 24-year-old slipped and fell.
The accident happened around noon. The four Germans, aged between 23 and 25, wanted to climb over the ridge and ski down the other side into the open ski area. To do this, they took off their skis, left the slopes and climbed over a ridge in their ski boots.
