In Kaprun
Avalanche causes one serious injury
An avalanche occurred on Monday afternoon just below the Heinrich-Schwaiger-Haus in Kaprun in Salzburg's Pinzgau region. One person was seriously injured and had to be transported away by emergency helicopter.
One person was seriously injured in an avalanche in Kaprun, more precisely 150 meters below the Heinrich-Schwaiger-Haus (2802 meters).
The three Germans (two women and one man) were on the ascent from Mooserboden towards Heinrich-Schwaiger-Haus (2802m). In the area of a gully, a small old snow slide came loose and caught the man, who was swept around 50 meters over partly rocky terrain.
Companions remained uninjured.
The German was flown to hospital in Zell am See by the "Alpin Heli 6" emergency helicopter and his companions remained unharmed and were accompanied down into the valley by the mountain rescuers.
In addition to the Kaprun mountain rescue team and two mountain rescue dog handlers, the Libelle helicopter team and three alpine police officers were also deployed.
