From steep terrain
Lost ski tourers rescued by helicopter
Up on touring skis, back down to the valley by police helicopter: an excursion on the Thaneller (2341 meters) in the Tyrolean Außerfern region came to an unplanned end for three winter sports enthusiasts on Saturday. The trio got lost on the descent in steep, rocky terrain.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen For the three winter sports enthusiasts aged between 27 and 47 - a woman and a man from Germany as well as a local - it was not their first tour on the Thaneller. On Saturday, however, the group was unable to ski the route they were familiar with.
So the trio had to choose a different one. And according to the police, the three tourers ended up in "very steep terrain". "In the end, they could neither go forward nor back," say the investigators.
They got into very steep terrain and were ultimately unable to get either forwards or backwards.
