Abstract
It is one of those beautiful autumn days in the mountains. We sit relaxed in front of the hangar in the sun and enjoy the silence. In this time, between the winter and the summer high season, it is often quiet here in the mountains, while in the high season there are scene calls one after the other. Then an injured hiker in a remote mountain valley pulls us out of the midday break. Quickly we sit in the EMS helicopter and fly towards the reported accident site.
