According to their report, the rescuers were called just before midnight to treat a heavily intoxicated person with a head wound. A second party guest was also reported to be severely drunk and uncooperative.
Because a helicopter flight was not possible, a six-hour operation ensued, involving three mountain rescuers—including an emergency doctor—and two police officers. Several media outlets had reported on the incident.
Although the Oberstdorf mountain rescuers generally have access to a helicopter certified for night flights, it could not take off for last Saturday’s operation due to fog. The rescue team therefore had to use a material cable car to reach the hut. Upon arrival at the hut, located at 1,804 meters, the situation was clear: “Stag party, nearly all guests heavily intoxicated, the aggressive person is already unconscious.”
The unconscious individual was treated and transported down via the cable car. During the descent, the intoxicated person vomited extensively, necessitating a laborious cleanup of the cable car and the rescue sack. “At the hospital around 4 a.m., an impressively high blood alcohol level was still being measured,” the mountain rescue service reported. The second affected individual initially wanted to continue partying but was persuaded to accompany the team down to the valley.
