South Tyrol avalanche hits ski slope: Major search operation – eyewitnesses express suspicion. Northern Italy is currently drowning in snow.
Several avalanches have already occurred in the Italian Alps for days. Almost non-stop snowing in the Alps for the past few days. A skier probably triggered the avalanche in Schnals and thus a large-scale mountain rescue operation. A second avalanche buried four rescuers who were traveling down the valley. They were able to be freed shortly afterwards by the colleagues present.
