Friends sounded the alarm
Carinthian mountaineer (53) had an accident on the Mangart
A climbing tour in the Italian-Slovenian border region ended tragically for a Carinthian on Tuesday. The 53-year-old could only be found dead in the afternoon.
According to information from the Italian media, the man was an experienced mountaineer from Ossiach - after his climbing tour on the Mangart, he had not turned up for an arranged meeting with two friends in Tarvisio, who immediately raised the alarm.
The Friulian Alpine Rescue Service set out to search for the climber on Tuesday. After several hours, they only found his car near the refuge on the Slovenian side of the 2677-metre-high Mangart.
Plunged to his death
Shortly after 2 p.m., Slovenian mountain rescuers discovered the lifeless body of the Carinthian at the foot of the north gully of the mountain. Apparently he was on his way down this gully when he fell to his death. 15 rescue workers and a helicopter recovered the body on Tuesday.
