Tragedy struck in the Italian Alps on a recent afternoon, as a German hiker fell approximately 80 meters off a high-altitude trail in the Bosconero group, south of Cortina d'Ampezzo. The exact cause of the fall remains unspecified, but the mountain rescue service reported the incident.
The Bosconero group, known for its peaks over 2,000 meters high, is a picturesque part of the Italian Alps. The highest peak in the Bosconero group is the Sasso de Bosconero, standing at 2,468 meters.
The incident occurred near Cortina d'Ampezzo, a popular tourist destination in the Italian Dolomites. The German hiker, who has not been publicly identified by name or city of origin, could not be saved after the fall. No further details about the hiker's identity were provided, and no information about the victim's age or origin has been released by the authorities.
