Five freeriders between the ages of 22 and 24 were in the Titlis area on Monday morning. They were all leaving the marked tracks from the grandstand when three of them were hit by an avalanche in the Wäng-Schlächtismatt area.
Two people were able to free themselves from the avalanche cone with minor injuries, write the Nidwalden cantonal police.
One skier, a 23-year-old from central Switzerland, was able to be located by his colleagues using an avalanche search device and freed from the snow masses. Although resuscitation began immediately, he died at the scene of the accident.
The course of the accident and, especially, the clarification of what caused the fall of the avalanche are the subject of investigations. (man)
