A rescue operation took place yesterday in the municipality of Toscolano Maderno, where technicians from the Valle Sabbia Station, part of the V Brescia Delegation of the National Alpine and Speleological Rescue Corps (CNSAS), were alerted around one in the afternoon to recover two young hikers who had gone missing.
Details of the Intervention
The young hikers were at an altitude of approximately 1430 meters on the ridges of Monte Pizzocolo, specifically on the southern ridge, when they lost the trail. Their position was pinpointed at the junction with the climbing path known as “Tre amici.” Four alpine rescue technicians were mobilized for the recovery, including two on-call responders. Thanks to an initial search conducted on the surrounding trails, the rescuers were able to locate the hikers.
The operation concluded in the late afternoon, when the teams returned to base after ensuring the safety of the hikers.
Mountain Safety
This incident highlights the importance of paying attention to appropriate footwear and clothing for hiking. Choosing equipment suitable for the season and the type of planned route is essential for ensuring greater safety during mountain activities.
