Shortly after All Saints’ Day in 1988, seven young hikers go missing on the Hochschwab, setting in motion the Styrian mountain rescue’s largest operation of all time. A sudden storm accompanied by fog and snow had cut off the hikers’ return route. More than 150 mountain rescuers, supported by alpine police officers, emergency medics and army helicopters, braved the storm and fog to search for the missing people on the massive, snow-covered Hochschwab plateau. A good 35 years later, the survivors and their rescuers recall the traumatic experience.
