Crashed during descent
Ski tourer (55) rescued from the mountain
A major search operation took place on Sunday in the municipality of Rußbach in the province of Salzburg. A 55-year-old ski tourer fell shortly after the summit on the descent and was unable to continue. Because there was no cell phone network, the man was unable to call for help.
A 55-year-old local man set off alone on a ski tour to the Gamsfeld in the municipality of Rußbach on Sunday. Shortly after starting the descent, he fell just below the summit and was unable to continue.
Another problem: there was no cell phone network in the area where the accident occurred. The man was therefore unable to call for help. As the ski tourer could not be reached by phone after dark, the Alpine Police and Abtenau Mountain Rescue launched a search operation. At around 8.30 p.m., the emergency services found the casualty below the summit, suffering from severe hypothermia.
After initial treatment, the 55-year-old was flown to Schwarzach Hospital by the RK 1 emergency helicopter from Carinthia with indeterminate injuries.
