BERLIN – The Austrian authorities have stated that a German was still missing after an avalanche had buried a group of skiers in the backcountry, killing one and injuring a second. Three other skiers were saved safe and sound.
The Austrian news agency APA reported on Sunday that Austrian and German rescue teams and planes were looking for the missing man, aged 43, but that their search was complicated by the threat of new avalanches.
The six men had gone on an excursion into the hinterland through a forest near the Austrian town of Reutte, on the German border, when an avalanche buried them on Saturday afternoon in a treeless area.
The missing man, the 42-year-old and the 37-year-old, were all from Bavaria, in southern Germany. We did not know where the three unharmed men came from.
