Once on site, the emergency services discovered that the avalanche had indeed buried parts of the piste, with the snow piled up almost two meters high.
Major operation triggered
As it could not be ruled out that skiers had also been caught in the avalanche, staff from the mountain railroads, the mountain rescue service, the Alpine police and other helpers immediately searched the avalanche cone, and the police helicopter and an avalanche search dog were also deployed.
In the end, however, the all-clear was given and no one was injured. At the time of the avalanche, there was considerable avalanche danger in the area (warning level 3).
