It is a mountain drama.
On Wednesday, a hiker who left with ten friends lost her life in the Pyrenees, near Cauterets, following a fall, reports
La Nouvelle République des Pyrénées
.
As they made their way to the Embarrat lakes, the group of hikers split into several clusters, not everyone walking at the same pace.
It was once they arrived on the Cayan plateau at the end of the day that the walkers noticed the absence of this 68-year-old Tarbaise.
Wrong route
They immediately notified the emergency services and the high mountain gendarmerie platoon of Perrefitte-Nestalas mobilized large search resources to find the sixty-year-old, who did not have a cell phone.
Supported by a helicopter, it was finally the dog squad who found the trace of the missing woman.
She was discovered lifeless, in a steep area, around 8:30 p.m., after following a wrong path.
His body was hoisted and transported to the Laloubère gendarmerie.
