A serious mountain accident occurred at Traunstein on Wednesday. A 63-year-old German woman was traveling alone when she had an accident in rough terrain. Her condition was life-threatening when she was found.

Two attentive mountaineers rescued a 63-year-old German woman at Traunstein (Gmunden district) on Wednesday. The 65-year-old and the 59-year-old were descending from Traunstein via the Mair Alm trail when they first found a filled water bottle on the ground and then bloodstains on the trail, prompting them to start searching. Further down the fall line, they found an unresponsive woman. The two provided first aid and called mountain rescue, according to the police.

Resuscitation and Rescue by Helicopter

Mountain rescuers, an alpine police officer, and a policewoman made their way to the accident site. The emergency medical helicopter flew additional helpers to the scene. The condition of the injured woman continued to deteriorate, and she had to be resuscitated. She was initially brought to the valley using a rope rescue, stabilized there, and flown to Wels Clinic. The woman was traveling alone, so the course of the accident could not be determined initially.
