Hiker sustains injuries after tumbling down on the Cadorna line's wall
Helicopter Rescue Team Saves Injured Hiker in Verbano
On Saturday, 23rd February, a dramatic rescue operation took place in the hills of Verbano. The Soccorso Alpino, a local helicopter rescue team based in Borgosesia, was called to the scene.
The incident occurred in the Aurano area, specifically in the Oro del Fai, at an altitude of 1300 meters. The man, who had fallen from a wall along the Cadorna line, sustained injuries to his arm and chest.
The rescue operation began in the late morning. The man was quickly located and the helicopter was able to reach him. He was then airlifted to the hospital in Borgosesia for treatment.
Initially, the man's condition was feared to be more serious, but upon arrival at the hospital, it was determined that his injuries were coded in green, indicating that while he had been injured, his condition was not life-threatening.
The man was taken to the hospital for treatment, and no further information about his condition has been provided at this time. The Cadorna line, where the incident occurred, is not far from the location of the incident, making it a popular hiking route in the area.
The Soccorso Alpino, the rescue team that entered the mountains of Verbano on this day, has a long history of providing critical assistance to those in need in the region. Their quick response and skilled operation no doubt saved the man's life.
We wish the man a speedy recovery and hope that he will be able to return to the great outdoors soon. The hills of Verbano are a beautiful and popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, and we hope that this incident serves as a reminder to always be cautious and aware of one's surroundings when enjoying the great outdoors.
