The 55-year-old woman from the Wels-Land district and her 56-year-old husband walked with their two daughters in Traunkirchen along the toboggan run to Hochsteinalm on Saturday around 12 noon. With a light snowfall, the family hiked a marked hiking trail to the Lärlkogel viewpoint.
On the descent, the 55-year-old slipped on the snowy road, fell and slipped about 20 meters down a steep and rocky slope. Among other things, he could have hit a tree, as police reported on Saturday. The woman was injured indefinitely. The Traunkirchen Mountain Rescue Team was on duty with 14 men. Mountain rescuers went up to the crash site with an alpine police officer. After a mountain rescue doctor took over the woman and transported her on a stretcher about 200 m up the steep hillside and a high forest to the forest road, she was handed over to the rescue team and carried away to the Salzkammergut Clinic in Gmunden.
