In Transcarpathia, at the Dragobrat ski resort, rescuers found four lost tourists during the day, including two residents of Irpen, Kyiv region. This was reported in the press service of the State Emergency Service of Transcarpathia.
The Rescue Service received a report about two men, born in 1991 and 1986, who got lost while snowboarding off-piste. They lost their bearings and found themselves on the territory of the Krachuńska region. Thanks to the exact coordinates provided by the tourists, the rescuers found them two hours later and brought them safely to the Dragobrat ski complex.
After that, the rescuers received a new message about another tourist - a 35-year-old resident of Kremenchuk, who also got lost while skiing off-piste. He met a 49-year-old tourist from Odesa, who also got lost in the same area. The men provided their coordinates, and mountain rescuers quickly adjusted their route over the phone until they met up with the search party.
The state of health of all four lost tourists is satisfactory, and none of them required medical assistance. Rescuers urge tourists to be careful and not to leave designated tracks while skiing in mountain resorts, in order to avoid such incidents.
