Memorial service in Salzburg for mountain pioneer
To mark the 100th anniversary of the death of Johann Stüdl, co-founder of the Alpine Club and mountain pioneer, there will be a large memorial service in Salzburg on January 29. Stüdl carried out numerous first ascents in the Alps in the 19th century and laid the foundations for modern alpinism.
