In the mountains, where nature abides by its relentless laws, any expedition can turn into a struggle for survival. This became a reality on Saturday when a group of six ski tourers went missing in the vicinity of Tête Blanche, a perilous peak in the Pennine Alps, on the Swiss-Italian border. Their story serves as a cautionary tale for all who yield to the mountain’s allure, not always fully aware of the potential consequences.
