The Italian mountains are so attractive with their breathtaking landscapes, but those who overestimate themselves risk their lives, warns Sunday in the Corriere della will be the head of the Maurizio Dellantonio rescue service.
The number of residents of rescuers increased by almost 20% compared to the average of previous years. Most of the people concerned are hikers, followed by mountaineers, cyclists, paratroopers as well as people who venture at altitude despite health problems.

In tourist regions such as southern Tyrol, the Aosta Valley or Veneto, much appreciated by German vacationers, the trails are overcrowded, often by poorly equipped hikers, said Dellantonio. The rescuers had recently to rescue a 30 -year -old man who was trying to climb, put on sneakers, a summit of 3,600 meters. He resolved to call for help during the night because he was cold.
You should know that spectacular images on social networks push many individuals without experience to embark on difficult excursions, without checking the weather or the field. In addition, one person rescued in two refuses to pay the costs, sometimes high, said the head of the rescue service.
