Another worrying incident occurred on December 29, 2024 in the Osterhorn Group, where a 55-year-old local made a ski tour alone. During his departure, he plunged just below the summit and was no longer able to help himself. Since there was no mobile phone network available in the area, he could not make an emergency call. When he was unavailable by phone after dark, a comprehensive search was initiated by the Alpine police and the Abtenau mountain rescue. As police-nachrichten.at , the crashed ski tourer could be found at 8:30 p.m. Due to severe hypothermia, a emergency helicopter was requested and the man was flown to the Schwarzach Clinic with indefinite injuries.
