Fanlo, Spain - May 14, 2025 Four French hikers, aged between 40 and 60, were rescued on Wednesday after being trapped by a hailstorm near Pico Descargador at an altitude of over 2,300 meters. The group had been descending toward the Góriz refuge when a severe hailstorm forced them to stop. They were unable to continue their route due to the dangerous weather conditions. At 4:30 p.m., an emergency call was made through 112, alerting authorities to the situation. The Mountain Rescue and Intervention Group (Greim) from Boltaña responded to the call, supported by a helicopter from the Huesca Air Unit and a 061 emergency doctor. The team located the hikers and evacuated them by helicopter to the Torla helipad. Fortunately, none of the hikers were injured. After the rescue, they requested a taxi service to continue their journey.
