On Wednesday, a ten-year-old girl fell into a six-meter-deep crevasse in Tyrol.

The ten-year-old girl was part of a Serbian training group on the Hintertux Glacier in the Tyrolean Zillertal and, according to authorities, had ignored the instructions of the 40-year-old trainer.

The ten-year-old was on the way to the training course in the area of a red slope and entered the unsecured ski area at an altitude of around 3,100 meters. This led to the fall into the crevasse. The rescue operation was complex. In addition to the crew of the emergency medical helicopter, the Tux mountain rescue team with ten men, a police helicopter, and an alpine police officer were deployed. She was flown to Schwaz hospital for examination by the emergency medical helicopter.
