Accident in Hüttschlag
German hiker (56) dies after avalanche drama
The avalanche in Schödertal near Hüttschlag ended fatally for a German holidaymaker. The 56-year-old succumbed to her serious injuries in hospital.
Completely buried by the masses of snow, struggled for life and finally died. A 56-year-old German woman succumbed to her injuries less than 24 hours after the tragic avalanche accident in Hüttschlag.
Group turned back due to snow conditions
Despite warnings from all alpine organizations, the woman from North Rhine-Westphalia had set off with companions on Tuesday to Schödersee (1440 m) at the head of the valley. The group turned back prematurely due to the snow conditions. On the way back, the masses of snow detached themselves from the steep gray wall and thundered down into the valley.
The woman and two other hikers were buried in the process - the "Krone" reported. After a feverish rescue operation, the seriously injured, intubated woman was taken by helicopter to the hospital in Schwarzach and finally to Salzburg University Hospital. She died there despite intensive medical treatment.
