Rescue teams dispatch a helicopter to extract 36 hikers in the Alps after the group becomes stuck on a precarious route at about 2,300 meters elevation, with some reportedly positioned roughly 18 inches from a steep drop. The group includes nine Britons, and several participants are said to be babies in prams.
According to reporting, the hikers are rescued after getting lost while attempting the route. The accounts describe an operation by Alpine rescue services to reach and recover the people from the difficult terrain. While the available coverage focuses on the scale of the incident and the helicopter response, it also emphasizes the risk created by the narrow, exposed section of the path. Details beyond these shared points are not provided in the supplied sources.
Overall, the coverage agrees on the main facts: the number of hikers, the approximate altitude, the involvement of British nationals, the use of a helicopter, and the circumstances of becoming stuck on an exposed route.
