After the avalanche on Saturday, in which a person (70) was caught in an avalanche in the municipality of Vomp, the search has to be postponed again. After the operation had to be canceled on Saturday due to the threat of subsequent avalanches, the chance of further avalanches in the area is high.
Probably won’t be looking until Wednesday
The search for the buried victim was canceled Sunday morning after a helicopter search flight. According to initial “Krone” information, the search could possibly continue on Wednesday.
Saturday around 11:00 a hiking group of about 30 people were on their way from the Binsalm to the Eng. One person was caught and buried in an avalanche.
Rescue services from Austria and Bavaria were deployed to search for and rescue the hiker. However, the search proved difficult because the “Libelle Tirol” had to turn back due to bad weather when approaching from Tyrol. Rescue workers from Lenggries and Murnau were brought to the scene of the accident in two German helicopters.
Mountain rescuers are also buried
There was already a significant risk of secondary avalanches on Saturday. This was confirmed when a mountain rescuer was partially buried by an avalanche. He was rescued and flown out with minor injuries.
The search was finally called off around 3pm on Sunday. Previously, it had been possible to bring other hikers out of the danger zone into the valley.
Dragonfly evacuates hikers
The Lamsenjochhütte is also located in the immediate vicinity of the accident site. The “Libelle Tirol” evacuates the guests in the hut early on Sunday afternoon. Due to the imminent avalanche danger, they cannot reach the valley safely.
