The Valais prosecutor's office has launched an investigation. The woman had been reported missing to the Valais cantonal police shortly after 6 pm on Thursday. An Air Zermatt helicopter search that evening led to the discovery of the lifeless body of the missing person in a steep terrain near the Gafine mid-station in the direction of Unnerbächji, according to the police on Friday.
