GD4ELI Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6295380.stm Six army recruits died while on a 'walk' at 3,800masl. The local mountain guides have described the Swiss army trainers are lunatics as there was a very high risk of a (snow) avalanche, also many have died in this area in 2007. They were roped together in 2 groups of three and set off an avalanche. Many die in the mountains, almost daily in summer. By comparison the TT is very safe.
