Overview

• The couple left their Mayrhofen lodging around noon on Sunday for a phone-app-planned tour toward the Stilluptal and Ginzling gorge.
• Off any marked trail, they reached a steep slope of wet rock and moss, and the 25-year-old slipped during a retreat around 3:15 p.m., falling about 70 meters.
• Her 26-year-old companion could not descend to her, called emergency services, and was hoisted out uninjured by rescue helicopter Heli 4 to Finkenberg.
• An emergency doctor flown in could only pronounce her dead, with police citing polytrauma as the cause of death.
• Bergrettung Mayrhofen and the alpine police completed the recovery and began standard inquiries, with a crisis intervention team on scene and no indication of foul play.
