Trentino, hiker falls 300 meters and dies in Forcella Pordoi

Tragedy in the mountains in Trentino. A 36-year-old American woman lost her life late this morning after falling about 300 meters in the Forcella Pordoi area, above Canazei. The hiker, who was on holiday with her family, slipped while walking along an exposed point of the path, at an altitude of around 2,750 metres. When help arrived, the doctor could only confirm his death.

The intervention of the emergency services

The alarm went off around midday, when some hikers who witnessed the fall called 112. The Single Emergency Center activated the Alta Val di Fassa station of Trentino Alpine and Speleological Rescue and requested the intervention of the air ambulance. Around 12.30, the air ambulance technician brought medical personnel to the scene, but the doctor could not do anything other than confirm the woman's death. The family members were transported by helicopter to Canazei, where the body was subsequently also transferred, entrusted to the Carabinieri.
