Emergency call only in the morning
Nocturnal odyssey: mountaineer gets lost on the mountain
A Slovenian in the Tyrolean lowlands had to spend a whole night on the mountain: after the 52-year-old had climbed a peak in the "Zahmer Kaiser" in the evening, he got lost on the way back down to the valley in the dark. The man only raised the alarm in the morning. He was then rescued by police helicopter.
He was late, the alpinist: on Thursday evening, at around 7 pm (!), the Slovenian set off on a tour from the Aschinger Alm in the municipality of Ebbs to the Grinnerkopf in the Zahmer Kaiser.
Lost his bearings in the dark
After the 52-year-old had reached the summit, he wanted to descend back into the valley via the same route at around 9.30 pm. "However, he lost his bearings in the dark and was ultimately unable to continue in the rough terrain," reported the police.
The Slovenian only made an emergency call at around 6.20 a.m. on Friday.

However, the Slovenian only made an emergency call in the early hours of Friday morning, at around 6.20 am. A search operation was then launched with the involvement of Kufstein Mountain Rescue and the Alpine Police.
"At 10.30 am, the man was finally rescued unharmed by the police helicopter," concluded the investigators.
