Rescue a group stranded in the mountains of Claviere, Turin

A group of migrants was rescued by the men of the Piedmontese Alpine and Speleological Group, who with the firefighters and the Red Cross intervened in the mountains above Claviere (To). The emergency call was launched around 23 pm yesterday by a group, thanks to the localization made with the SMS locator that placed them near the Capanna Gimont refuge, closed in this period. A ground team made up of personnel from the two bodies left and found them in poor physical condition due to hypothermia, sheltered outside the building. They were then transferred to Claviere and entrusted to ambulances for hospitalization. Subsequently, the teams left upstream because the rescued migrants had reported other people missing at higher altitude. Proceeding partly on motorized vehicles and then on foot, traces were followed in the snow that led to the Green Collar until, around 4 am, the group of missing people composed of 6 people who were entrusted to the Red Cross arrived in Claviere independently. The teams then returned to the valley.
