Berg drama in the Innviertel: Two hikers stranded in the blizzard!

Brunnkogel, Österreich - A dramatic hill -up due occurred in the Innviertel when two young women (23 and 24 years old) tried on Wednesday to climb the Brunnkogel via the Schafluckensteig. Although they were equipped with light hiking equipment and knew the tour from the summer, they got into an unexpected weather chaos. Suddenly snow fall and violent storms broke in over them, which led to a dangerous situation because they could no longer see the path. In a desperate attempt to determine their location, they use their cell phones, which quickly led to failure because the batteries were emptied due to the poor reception conditions. At 2:30 p.m., the women finally initiated an emergency call. With a little luck, the alpine police could determine their GPS location shortly before the complete battery failure, as ooe.orf.at reported.

The bad weather conditions prevented an immediate rescue from the air. Therefore, it was decided to break off mountain rescuers at the level of the fog border. They had to rise to the two women for over an hour in strong snowstorm. After their arrival, they provided the mountaineers with warm clothes and crampons to ensure their safety before they started relegation into the valley. Fortunately, both survived the incident without injuries and were able to return home safely after their exciting adventure.
