Shock on the slopes: seriously injured after collision with unknown skiers!

In the breathtaking backdrop of the Kals ski area on the Großglockner, a dramatic incident occurred when an avalanche on ski slopes No. 14 left on Tuesday afternoon. The avalanche exit occurred at 2:40 p.m. at an altitude of 2,200 meters, with the snowboard broke off about 200 meters above the slopes and spilled an area of 200 meters in length and 40 meters wide. Immediately after the critical event, rescue workers were alerted, including mountain rescues, alpine police and two helicopters who searched for possible spilled. Fortunately, the Matrei police in East Tyrol was able to give the all -clear in the evening, since nobody was buried under the snow, as the extensive search showed, which also included the use of avalanche addiction dogs. The rescue operation was finally ended after several hours of unsuccessful search, without the victims to complain about, such as tt.com reported.

But the avalanche danger in the region was anything but low. On Tuesday, warning level 3 of 5 was considered "significant". The Situation even tightened in other parts of Tyrol, where the warning level increase to 4. These critical conditions contributed to concern, especially after an incident on the same day, in which an avalanche in the Kühtai caught a car with five inmates. In addition, a ski tourer was buried in the Lechtal Alps and had to be recovered with serious injuries, which the alarming avalanche situation in the Tyrolean mountains underlined, as orf.at reported.
