Serious skiing accident in Nassfeld: 15-year-old fights for his life!

A dramatic accident occurred in the Nassfeld ski area, Hermagor district, yesterday, Wednesday, February 5, 2025, at around 2:30 p.m. A 15-year-old skier from Germany was seriously injured in a collision with a 46-year-old snowboarder from Vienna. The incident occurred in the middle of the peak semester break season, when numerous winter sports enthusiasts were crowding the slopes. After receiving initial care at the scene of the accident, the young man was flown to the Villach State Hospital by the ARA 3 rescue helicopter, as well as that  Gailtal Journal as well as  My district report.

The accident once again shows the dangers that lurk in alpine skiing, especially during busy times. Despite the teenager's serious injuries, the snowboarder escaped with shock and remained uninjured. The background to the accident is still unclear, but this incident illustrates how important safety precautions are on the slopes. Recovery in tense situations like these is of great importance for those involved. While the young skier's medical care was a priority, this incident also raises questions about ski safety that must continue to be discussed.
