ran. On the way from the Jungfraujoch to the Konkordiaplatz on the Aletsch Glacier, a mountain guide found parts of a plane that had probably crashed.

The Valais cantonal police have confirmed reports from the Tamedia newspapers to the NZZ. It is known that parts of an airplane were found. It is probably related to a very old, closed incident, the police said. It is currently being investigated to which possible accident these parts belonged. No further information can be given at this time.

According to the discoverer, it should be a small aircraft. It is still unclear whether the plane crashed at the exact spot where it was found or whether the glacier carried the parts with it.
