Father and Daughter Fell While Climbing on the Bischofsmütze

Two local climbers fell on the Bischofsmütze (2,458 meters) in the Gosaukamm on Tuesday morning. The 46-year-old man and his 16-year-old daughter were ascending when the girl fell in the area of the first "forecourt" at about 2,200 meters altitude. Her father tried to help her but slipped and suffered serious injuries. Both injured were rescued by the rescue helicopter teams C14 and C99 from Styria.

Injured Father-Daughter Duo Flown to Hospitals

The man was flown to the accident hospital in Salzburg, and his daughter to the hospital in Schladming. The mountain rescue team from Filzmoos supported the helicopter teams. The tour on the Bischofsmütze requires alpine experience, surefootedness, and climbing skills - but the accident on Tuesday is believed to have occurred in a section where ropes are not normally used.
