The prosecutor of Saltzburg has officially terminated the investigation of the Special Forces Office in the Austrian Alpine Club (AV), which is under the lavaline in the Glaive Valley.

The Tragoid happened on January 17th, 2026 during the training course near the summit of Tronk. The breakfast lashes have gone down and completely fell asleep by a group of seven. Four people on the way died, and three, including a trained mountain and ski wire, survive.

The official investigation did not detect any breach of security or professional negligence on the side of the hippos. After the prosecutor's conclusions, the blame on this side of the slope was impossible at the time of planning the tour.

The President is AV Wolfgang Schurek and head of the mountain sports department, Jangdal confirmed that the club is taking responsibility to improve security regularly, despite the imminent remaining risk in the mountains.
