A woman from Britain has died after falling 100ft from a mountain in Italy. The 56-year-old had been hiking in the Dolomites in northern Italy with her husband when the tragedy happened.
Her body was recovered by an emergency helicopter and she has not been named in local reports. The Mirror reports the incident happened shortly before 2pm on the Santner via Ferrata, the iron path.
The via Ferrata is a mountainous path of fixed ropes, ladders and rungs that help hikers cross otherwise tricky and steep rocky terrain. The couple were around three-quarters of the way to the Santner refuge on the Catinaccio, in South Tyrol when the incident happened on Sunday, July 24.
