Sad certainty
Buried hiker found dead in the Karwendel
During a search operation on Thursday morning, mountain rescue teams and the alpine police probably found the 70-year-old German hiker dead who was buried by an avalanche under the Binsalm on Saturday.
The man had descended from the Binsalm (municipality of Vomp) towards Eng on Saturday with a hiking group of around 25 people. He was caught by an avalanche around 100 meters before the valley floor, swept away and buried.
Search was too dangerous for a long time
The emergency services soon had to call off the search due to the danger of avalanches, especially as a secondary avalanche caught a mountain rescuer and partially buried him. The man's knee was seriously injured.
A search was not possible in the past few days, but on Thursday the avalanche risk had to be taken into account. The body in the avalanche cone was recovered by Libelle Tirol and flown down to the valley.
Avalanche death earlier than ever before
Experienced experts cannot remember there ever having been an avalanche death in Tyrol at such an early stage.
