(ANSA) – BOLZANO, 02 AUG – Difficult intervention of the Pelikan 2 helicopter rescue last night on the Sassolungo, in Val Gardena. At dusk two climbers, a man and a woman, were in trouble while they were climbing the Innerkofler Tower and raised the alarm. They were in good condition, but they did not have the necessary equipment to spend a night on the wall. This is how the rescue operation by the Val Gardena mountain rescue started, which with the help of the Pelikan 2 helicopter, recovered the two mountaineers, bringing them back to the valley just in time. In fact, shortly after a strong storm hit the area.

For some years the rescue helicopters in South Tyrol, both the two Pelikan and the Aiut Alpin Dolomites, have been equipped with the latest generation of night vision goggles that allow interventions even in the dark. (HANDLE).
