Deadly accident on the Matterhorn

Footage from a documentary about Air Zermatt, shot by the Swiss Television "Schweizer Fernsehen". We join the mountain rescue services of Air Zermatt in the Swiss Alps during a rescue of three alpinists on the Matterhorn mountain. Unfortunately the crash turned out to be fatal: the Air Zermatt crew has to recover the death bodies from the glacier.

The Alpine Rescue Center offers courses on a high level that prepares rescuers for the challenging operations under extreme conditions.

Practising Emergency Medical Service in the mountains is extremely challenging. High altitude, extreme temperatures, strong winds, unpredictable weather, weight issues, limited resources and no place for mistakes.

After successfully completing the courses, a rescuer or paramedic might achieve the International Diploma of Mountain Emergency Medicine for Emergency Physicians or Paramedics, certified by ICAR, UIAA and ISMM.
