Laura Dahlmeier: Your body should not remain on the mountain

The body of the former world-class biathlete Laura Dahlmeier (1993-2025) is now to be recovered. As Pakistani media, the Alpine Club of Pakistan (ACP) said that the body of the Dahlmeier, who had an accident, would not remain on the mountain. As soon as the weather would allow safe access to the scene of the accident, the body will be recovered, the ACP is in a statement.

There are currently exchanges with local authorities to facilitate the complete process of recovery and to honor Dahlmeier’s memory in the spirit of the international mountaineering solidarity. Previously, this published that the rescue operation had been stopped. In it Laura Dahlmeier was also declared dead.

In addition, it was said that it was Dahlmeier’s explicit and written will to leave her body on the mountain if others had to risk their lives through the rescue. This is also in the sense of the relatives, who also expressly ask to respect Laura’s last wish.

The former world-class biathlete had an accident last Monday in a mountain accident in Pakistan. According to the official statement, Dahlmeier was recorded by a rockfall around noon local time at 5,700 meters in the Karakorum Mountains. When the misfortune happened, she had been “on the road in the alpine style”. The companion immediately made an emergency call, but the salvage was extremely difficult due to the extreme height and seclusion of the area. Nobody could penetrate Dahlmeier until Wednesday.

Because of the remote location, a rescue helicopter could not reach the scene of the accident until Tuesday morning. During a overflight, the rescuers already found that the experienced climber was at least seriously injured, and signs of life were no longer recognizable.

An international mountain rescue team – including the famous mountaineer Thomas Huber (58) – coordinated the complicated recovery. On Tuesday evening, the search had to be canceled due to the onset of darkness, and the salvage mission was then continued on Wednesday morning.

The native of Garmisch-Partenkirchner was a state-certified mountain and ski guide and active member of the mountain rescue service. She was considered an experienced and risk -conscious mountaineer who knows the dangers of the mountains very well.
