Search operation in Kleinarl: dream vacation ends tragically for 76-year-old!

A tragic incident shocked the Kleinarl ski area in Salzburg. On March 20, 2025, a large-scale search operation was launched for a 76-year-old Chinese citizen who was vacationing with her daughter. The woman had taken the lift in the afternoon without ski equipment and then walked to a ski hut on a snow-free forest road. From there she separated from her companions to go back to the elevator alone. When she didn't arrive in the valley, her companions informed the police around 4 p.m., which triggered an extensive search operation involving Alpine police, mountain rescue, fire services and even a police helicopter. Unfortunately, the search had to be interrupted during the night, but the next morning her body was discovered at an altitude of 1,600 meters above sea level near the Ahornkaralm, with no signs of foul play fireworld.at reported.
