Tragedy in Val d’Aosta: two mountaineers fall and die

Tragic accident in the mountains in northern Italy in the last few hours, where two mountaineers lost their lives in Valle d’Aosta. As reported by the ANSA.it, two mountaineers died after falling from the Rothorn crest, at 3,150 meters above sea level, in Val d’Ayas (Aosta). The victims are also young and they are Nicola Bertola, aged 39, from Ayas, e Erika Giorgetti, aged 36, living in Morgex. Rescue was immediate in the area but the dynamics of the accident must now be clarified in detail. The Valle d’Aosta Alpine Rescue intervened on the spot and recovered the bodies. The alarm seems to have been triggered yesterday evening due to the failure of the two to return home and the searches continued until this morning when, thanks to the helicopter overflight, it was possible to sight and subsequently recover the bodies. The recognition and judicial police operations are entrusted to the financial police. Pain and disbelief in the family and relatives of the victims.
