On Tuesday, a 26-year-old woman was fatally injured during a mountain tour in St. Leonhard in the Pitztal (Imst district).

The German woman took the emergency descent from the Hohe Geige in the Ötztal Alps and informed her relatives. However, contact was lost afterwards, and in the evening, the rescue chain was set in motion. The mountaineer likely strayed from the path, ended up in a steep gully, and fell in the steep rocky terrain, reported the police.

26-Year-Old Fatally Injured: Autopsy Ordered

A search operation on the day of the accident had to be aborted shortly after midnight due to heavy rainfall, hail showers, and falling rock avalanches. In the morning, the body was discovered and recovered by the crew of the police helicopter at the foot of the emergency descent. An autopsy was ordered.
