Avalanche accident in Austria: snowboard hits German ski holidaymakers. Two Germans from Baden-Württemberg were traveling in Vorarlberg, Austria, on Saturday, March 9th.
They were caught in an avalanche while crossing a slope. The incident happened below the “Green Peak” at an altitude of 2,400 meters. The danger of avalanches in the Alps is currently particularly high due to high winter temperatures and sometimes heavy snowfall. Just recently, at the end of February, a skier from Munich died in an Avalanche in South Tyrol.
