| Four missing climbers found dead after being buried by avalanche near 6,500ft summit on Christmas Day tragedy |
| 2025-12-28 |
| [The Sun] The climbers had set off for a festive walk in the Vardousia Mountains in central Greece on Christmas morning. The weather was clear as the group left the village of Athanasios Diakos, reportedly planning to summit Korakas. But the path they had chosen was particularly steep, and large amounts of fresh snow had fallen in the area. Authorities said conditions rapidly declined once the hike began, due to the altitude and the area's terrain. The four were killed instantly by an avalanche, crushed by falling snow close to the peak of Korakas. Rescuers found the group seeming to hug each other, suggesting that they had little or no time to react to the avalanche. |
