A 50-year-old German man lost his life last Wednesday during a hike in the area of the Zimbajoch in the Vorarlberg Montafon.

The tourist apparently lost his footing on slippery ground during the mountain tour in Vorarlberg and subsequently fell over a roughly 50-degree steep grassy slope into a rock gully, the police reported on Sunday. There, the mountain rescue team from Vandans found him during a large-scale search operation on Sunday.

Relatives Raised Alarm After Fatal Accident During Mountain Tour in Vorarlberg

Previously, on Saturday, relatives had raised the alarm as the German had still not returned home. The 50-year-old had ascended to the Sarotlahütte on Tuesday, intending to descend into the valley on the Montafon side via the Zimbajoch after spending the night there. Ultimately, this led to the fatal accident.
