There were several alpine missions in Carinthia on Saturday. In Bodental, the mission turned out to be “extremely difficult”. Two helicopters were requested.
A woman from Lower Austria suffered severe head injuries during a mountain tour in the area of the Niedere Gradenscharte, in the municipality of Großkirchheim. The woman was injured in a fall. The crew of the Alpin 6 rescue helicopter brought the 34-year-old to the Tauernklinkum in Zell am See in Salzburg. Difficult rescue Another alpine mission that turned out to be difficult occurred in the Bodental near Ferlach. “On the Stinzesteig, a woman from the Klagenfurt Land district slipped and injured her leg,” says Christian Arnusch, operations manager of the Ferlach mountain rescue service. Two helicopters had to be requested for the rescue. “The C11 could not continue to fly because of the wind, a more powerful helicopter had to be requested.” The woman was finally rescued by the crew of the police helicopter Libelle using dew recovery and brought to the Ogrisalm. There she was handed over and flown to UKH by C11. Eleven members of the Ferlach Mountain Rescue Service, the crew of the two helicopters, the police and the rescue team were deployed.
