 Poster: A snowHead
|
Another glacier in the news, the Hintertux. However this time the accident occurred during the journey home for a group of Belgian skiers....
SwissInfo report
19 people, including two children, were injured when a coach carrying passengers returning from skiing on the Hintertux glacier in Austria overturned on the motorway near Nuremberg in Germany. One suffered a broken leg, the remainder were treated for light injuries.

I thought you meant accidents actually on the glacier......my son broke his leg in 3 places on the Hintertux glacier if that counts. I dislocated my elbow and broke the tip of the bone off on the same glacier too!

I have never skied on a glacier, are there crevasses like on Touching the Void? Is it more dangerous? When in Les Arcs last March the one fine day when the visibility was good the queue to get up to the glacier was too long to wait.

FAQ
By the time they reached the autobahn you'd imagine the difficult part of the journey was behind them (slippery roads and tight bends). PG, Lucky there is the funicular in Bourg for those afraid of coach travel on tight mountain roads.
