The fatal accident occurred during a descent from Laubeneck, highlighting seasonal risks in alpine regions.

A 36-year-old man from Freising fell to his death while descending Laubeneck in the Ammergebirge mountains of Bavaria.
The accident happened on Sunday, December 1, as the hiker and his 26-year-old companion were returning from the summit.
The victim fell approximately 100 meters, and emergency responders, flown in by helicopter, were unable to save him.
Recovery of the body was delayed until Monday due to challenging conditions in the mountainous terrain.
Authorities emphasize the importance of alpine expertise and caution, as snowfields in higher elevations increase the risk of accidents.
