Group of tourists with a child required urgent assistance

Five Ukrainian citizens found themselves in a difficult situation on the summit of Rys, the highest point in Poland. The group included a 10-year-old child. The tourists had decided to climb the mountain in winter conditions but did not have the necessary equipment with them. As a result, they were unable to descend from the summit on their own.

Actions of TOPR rescuers

The situation was taken over by the Polish Mountain Rescue Service (TOPR). A helicopter was deployed to evacuate the entire group from the mountain. This incident was part of an intensive day for the rescuers: on the same day, they conducted several other operations and assisted a total of 12 tourists.
