Fatal hiking accident
Automatically saved draft
All help came too late for a 56-year-old woman from Vorarlberg, who was hiking towards Lienzer Spitz in Switzerland at around 9.45 a.m. on Thursday after falling down the southern rock face. She could only be rescued dead.
The 56-year-old had climbed up the Plofora towards Lienzer Spitz together with a companion. For reasons that have not yet been clarified, she stumbled shortly before the ridge towards the summit and fell several hundred meters into the depths.
Search flight launched
Her companion then alerted the St. Gallen Cantonal Emergency Call Center, whereupon Swiss Air-Rescue Rega launched a search flight. A short time later, the woman from Vorarlberg was found south-east of the foot of the wall.
However, the rescue services were only able to determine that the climber had died. She was rescued by Rega. The exact cause of the accident is still being investigated by the Alpine task force of the St. Gallen cantonal police.
