Live Info

Sadly we have to accept the news about David Lama and Hansjörg Auer who had a deadly accident in the course of a joint expedition in Canada.

Together with their American mountaineering friend Jess Roskelley they were killed in an avalanche. For many years we had a close friendship with Hansjörg and David - both exceptional alpinists of our time. As a partner, we have always been proud to rely on these extraordinary personalities in their role as Ötztal promotors. As friends and Ötztal locals we are devastated by the news that Hansjörg, a valued member of our valley's community, has been affected by such a fateful event in his beloved mountains. We were allowed to meet David as a very special person with a unique sporting gift. Our thoughts are with the two families and all friends, we share their grief in this tragedy.
