Note: The incidents in Trentino and Cortina might potentially be the same reported avalanche at Forcella Giau, as they are geographically near each other and no specific location was given in the initial report. The German incident, however, seems to be unrelated.
Other skiers in the Dolomites, including those on floating floors, are still missing following a perilous avalanche at Forcella Giau. A helicopter alert was issued, making it possible for search and rescue teams to find and rescue the missing skiers. Skiers and mountaineers alike should remain cautious amidst the unpredictable Italian Alps.
