A mountaineer falls to his death on the Great Wiesbachhorn in Pinzgau

A 21-year-old man from the Czech Republic died after falling while crossing a snowfield during an ascent of the Großer Wiesbachhorn mountain in the Pinzgau region of Austria. He was climbing with a companion who descended to the Heinrich-Schwaiger-House and alerted emergency services. The rescue team from Kaprun was called around 17:00 local time. Due to heavy hail and poor weather conditions, it was initially unclear whether a helicopter could assist. Eventually, the deceased was recovered by the police helicopter, while his companion was evacuated by the Alpine Rescue Helicopter Team 6. The operation concluded at 19:30.
