His son, who was also swept away on Sunday morning, survived. A family of four had traveled from San Bernardino to the Pass dei Omenit before 11 a.m., the canton police reported in the evening. The avalanche released at an altitude of 2,651 meters and tore the father and one of his two sons around 150 meters down.
While the son was able to free himself, the father remained completely buried under the snow. The rescue workers were able to free the victim and he was flown to Zurich University Hospital. The injured man died there a short time later. The group consisted of a couple with mountain experience and their two children.
