Helicopter in action
Slipped on the mountain: two women seriously injured
Two German mountaineers suffered serious injuries in alpine accidents on Saturday in the Tyrolean Pitztal and Karwendel mountains. Both women had slipped and fallen. They had to be rescued by helicopter and flown to hospitals.
The accident in the Pitztal occurred in the late afternoon. Three German women who were friends were walking in the municipality of St. Leonhard from the Mauchele Alm via the Almsteig down the valley towards the village of Boden.
Wet ground was their undoing
"To cross a small stream, they chose an alternative route and left the marked path," reported the police. And then it happened: due to the rain, one of the women - a 48-year-old - slipped on the wet ground and was seriously injured.
The seriously injured woman was then rescued using a rope and flown to Zams Hospital by emergency helicopter.
