A tragic misfortune overshadows the Berchtesgaden Alps: a 25-year-old snowshoe, who was traveling on February 8, 2025 on a solo trip to the Kahlersberg, was reported as missing and finally found on February 10th. According to reports from Fireworld , the young man, who came from the Passau area, could be discovered at a search at around 1,800 meters.

The investigation is headed by the Traunstein public prosecutor, while the Alpine operational group of the police headquarters in Upper Bavaria Süd carried out the search.
increased avalanche risk in the Alps
In the middle of these tragic events, the Alpine operational group of the police headquarters in Upper Bavaria South and the German Alpine Association warn of an increased avalanche risk in the coming days. The onset of winter from the last week of the Berchtesgaden Alps caused massive snowfall, which further exacerbates the situation. This was reported by Bgland24 . The experts warn that the fresh snow, which is shifting on a warmer reason, could slip uncontrollably in steep areas, which has already led to several avalanches.
Caution should be exercised especially in the area of the Latte Mountains, since snow breaks and the associated dangers also threaten. The authorities strongly recommend a defensive and careful planning of tours in the mountains to avoid further tragic incidents. The requirements for safety in the Alps are higher than ever given the weather conditions and the increased avalanche risk.
