A British hiker faces a fine of more than $16,000 (€14,000) after requiring a helicopter rescue from a closed trail in the Dolomites.
According to Veneto Mountain Rescue, on the morning of July 31, a 60-year-old man ventured onto the Ferrata Berti – a long and challenging Via Ferrata – despite signs warning it was closed from both access points due to “continuous” rockfall in the area. At around 3:30pm, the man, who has not been identified, called mountain rescue to say that rocks were falling from above him.
