Rope left behind
Ski tourers had to be rescued by helicopter
Three German ski tourers (28, 31, 32) found themselves in a difficult situation in Tyrol on Saturday. Because they had to leave their rope behind to abseil down and could no longer get any further, they made an emergency call. The police helicopter had to be called out for the trio.
On Saturday, the group from Germany set off from the Hohe Munde parking lot in Leutasch with touring skis and a splitboard to the western summit of the Hohe Munde. "On the descent, the group had to abseil down several rock passages," according to the police.
Tourers remained unharmed
At an altitude of 2040 meters, the rope could no longer be removed after the abseil and had to be left behind. "Without the rope, the group was unable to act on another rock passage and made an emergency call," said the executive. The uninjured ski tourers were rescued by the "Libelle" police helicopter with the support of the Leutasch mountain rescue team. The group then descended into the valley on their own.
