Despite multiple danger warnings and explicit trail closures due to recurrent landslides from Croda Marcora, a 60-year-old English hiker required helicopter rescue today from the ‘Berti’ via ferrata in San Vito di Cadore (Belluno). The man became stranded by falling rocks.
Having started his hike from Passo Tre Croci, the hiker alerted Alpine Rescue and sheltered in place awaiting the helicopter. As he was trapped directly within the active landslide zone—part of the same geological phenomenon responsible for repeated debris flows onto the SS51 “Alemagna” state highway in recent weeks—rescuers had to extract him using a winch system.
This incident follows a similar rescue just days prior, where two Belgian youths ignored the mayor’s official access ban and found themselves in peril on the same hazardous terrain.
