Tragic Avalanche Claims Lives of Five Skiers in Zermatt Region

Five skiers found deceased in the Swiss Alps near the Zermatt resort highlight the dangers of high-altitude skiing.


Rescue teams have recovered the bodies of five skiers near Zermatt, Switzerland, following a tragic avalanche incident.

The five skiers, part of a group that had journeyed to the Rimpfischhorn peak, were reported missing when fellow climbers discovered unattended skis in the area. After a thorough search operation, authorities located the victims on the Adler Glacier, with their bodies spread across different elevations among avalanche debris, as stated by the local police.

Rescue efforts involved both aerial and ground support, and indications point to the likelihood of an accident affecting all five skiers. Their identities remain undisclosed, as investigations by the public prosecutor's office into the incident are ongoing.

Separately, on the same weekend, Air Zermatt successfully executed a challenging rescue operation for four stranded alpinists amid adverse weather conditions on the Fiescherhörner peak, demonstrating the ongoing risks associated with mountain sports in difficult environments.
