Five people died in an avalanche in Spiss, in the Austrian province of Tyrol, on the border with Switzerland. According to reports from the police, one injured person was transferred to the Swiss Confederation. No information was provided on the identity or nationality of the victims.
Due to the fresh snow, there were around 60 avalanches between yesterday and today in Tyrol. Five people were buried in Solden, but were later rescued by an avalanche, four of whom were then hospitalized. At the Glungezer ski resort, a German woman was miraculously saved after standing 15 minutes under 1.5 meters of snow. She was unconscious but was still breathing and was hospitalized. “Surviving for 15 minutes is a real stroke of luck,” commented the police.
