A 69-year-old Frenchman fell around eighty meters on Monday afternoon during a hike in the Lower Valais. Rescue workers were only able to determine the man's death.
The accident occurred in the Pointe des Ombrieux area above Collombey-Muraz in a steep, rocky passage, as reported by the Valais cantonal police on Tuesday. Witnesses and the French rescue services, who were called by helicopter, tried in vain to resuscitate the man. An investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the accident.
