Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The man from Villach and a friend had undertaken a ski tour on the slopes of the so-called Rifugio Celso Gilberti in the Sella Nevea area in Italy on Saturday. The 30-year-old was on his way down the steep gullies to his waiting companion when the masses of snow came loose. The man was swept about 200 meters by the avalanche. He was able to deploy his avalanche airbag. This kept him on the surface.
The situation was observed by members of the Soccorso Alpino e Speleologico Friuli Venezia Giulia. The rescuers had just carried out an exercise in the immediate vicinity. The rescuers reported that they reached the man from Villach, whose body was trapped in the masses of snow, within a few minutes. They were able to rescue the 30-year-old unharmed. They accompanied the skier down into the valley, who decided against hospital treatment.
