Spectacular rescue
Seriously injured person rescued in pitch darkness
A helicopter had to rescue a seriously injured woman from the Tyrolean mountains in pitch darkness! Her colleague who was searching for her heard the woman whimpering and moaning, and the hut owner had alerted the rescue services in the meantime.
Mountain rescuers worked until dark on Tuesday evening to rescue a seriously injured German hiker (57) on the Prägratner Höhenweg. While her companion went ahead to the Sajathütte at 2600 meters above sea level, she did not arrive at the hut. The hut host set the rescue chain in motion. Although the seriously injured woman could be heard in the steep, rocky terrain, a helicopter rescue was initially not possible due to the weather conditions.
A helicopter rescue was not possible at an earlier stage due to the weather conditions.

Members of the mountain rescue team therefore descended the terrain in a search chain and found the seriously injured woman around 300 meters below the path - also with the help of a police drone. The emergency helicopter was only able to land near the accident site after 7 pm. The woman had to be carried several hundred meters to the site.
A reasonably suitable transfer point for the helicopter was found in the area.

Flown to the hospital in Klagenfurt
At around 8 p.m., the crew of the emergency helicopter managed to take over the injured woman in complete darkness, using night vision goggles, and transport her to the intermediate landing site at the mountain rescue center in Prägraten. After the patient had been stabilized by the helicopter crew's emergency doctor, a mountain rescue doctor and two emergency paramedics, she was flown to the hospital in Klagenfurt.
The Prägraten am Großvenediger mountain rescue team was deployed with around 20 emergency services, the Prägraten volunteer fire department for transporting the emergency services, the Virgen mountain rescue team with around ten emergency services, the mountain rescue search dog team, the emergency helicopter team, a police patrol, a police drone pilot and two Alpine police officers.
