Die alpine Flugrettung

Alpine air rescue: Saving lives on the mountain - then and now

From the legendary mission on the Swiss Gauli Glacier in 1946 to dramatic rescue flights today, men and women risk their lives in the high alpine region to rescue people from extreme mountain distress. About equipment and training, the complex choreography of helping, fateful encounters between rescuers and victims, and the fascination of flying in the mountains that underlies it all.

Robert Sperl looks up into the sky every time an air rescue helicopter audibly announces its arrival and hopes that everything will turn out well. The journalist was editor-in-chief and editorial director for The Red Bulletin and Terra Mater magazine from 2008-2021.
