Advice ignored: Man skis several kilometers along prepared trails in Upper Bavaria. Driver had asked at the mountain station for the shortest route to Unken.
Instead, he drove over the cross-country ski trail. Investigations are now underway against the driver of the gondola lift in Reit im Winkl (Traunstein district), Upper Bavarian police say. The driver also drove on winter hiking and forest paths in a landscape protection area, on his route from the Winkelmoosalm to the Unken in Austria.
