Overview

• The 24-year-old Strambino resident departed from Col di Falinère at about 2,500 meters before her wing reportedly folded during a descent into Chamois on August 3.
• Responders from the 118 medical service, Soccorso Alpino Valdostano and the Guardia di Finanza reached the site but were unable to save her.
• Preliminary witness accounts indicate the paraglider collapsed roughly 20 meters above ground after a sudden wind gust.
• Later the same day, Soccorso Alpino Valdostano recovered another pilot from a non-fatal fall at Cavallaria, who remains in stable condition.
• Local rescue groups and pilots are urging improved weather monitoring and stricter safety measures to reduce the risk of further Alpine air sports accidents.
