The mountain has again killed this weekend in Valais. A mountaineer lost his life on Sunday while trying to reach the summit of Waterhorn, reports the Cantonal Police Valais on Monday.
The man started from the Bietschhorn hut with two other people. During the passage of the Bietschjoch to the Bietsch glacier, at an altitude of 3150 meters, he dropped in the void for still indeterminate reasons. Alerted, the emergency services could only note his death. The formal identification of the victim is underway. The public prosecutor has opened an instruction.
In addition, the mountaineer who fatally dropped on August 4 during the ascent of the Tervin was a 72 -year -old German, also said the Valais police. Another identification: that of the victim of Lagginhorn, near Saas-Gundund, on August 9. He was a 49 -year -old Austrian national. Finally, the lifeless person discovered on August 13 at the “Testa del Leone”, above Zermatt, is a 28-year-old Frenchman. It probably did only a mountain hike in the region, specifies the police.
