Innsbruck Mountain Rescue is currently on duty practically every day. They are struggling with a problem that is very specific to the Tyrolean capital and is causing the number of missions to rise unnecessarily.

"I do the same thing when I come to Innsbruck!" This is how tourists traveling to Innsbruck often react when they see videos of mountain tours around the provincial capital on the internet at home. "It all looks so easy, but it's extremely deceptive," warns Bruno Berloffa, experienced head of Innsbruck Mountain Rescue.
