Avalanche in Racines, at least one dead and two seriously injured. Three helicopters and search teams on site.
Up to 60 cm of snow has fallen recently in Alto Adige. All three hikers had the ARVA, the electronic device for locating people under the snow, and were quickly identified and recovered. However, one was now dead, while the other two were taken to the Bolzano hospital in serious conditions. The avalanche fell in the Wumblsalm area, over a kilometer away from the ski lifts.
