The remains of a Swiss climber missing since 1994 were identified, solving a decades-old disappearance on Ober Gabelhorn, police confirmed.
- On Wednesday, southern Wallis cantonal police said climbers ascending the Ober Gabelhorn, 4,063-metre peak, found remains of a climber missing since 1994, separate from two climbers who disappeared earlier.
- In previous incidents, bodies of missing alpinists occasionally turn up on Swiss glaciers, with two skeletons found in Wallis, police said.
- After the report, officers reached the site by helicopter and recovered personal effects from the Ober Gabelhorn glacier, police said.
- Police said earlier recoveries of the previously found mountaineer fully solved the disappearance of two men, and the investigation identified the second missing person as a Swiss citizen.
- The Ober Gabelhorn, a 4,063-metre peak, is prized by mountaineers, and Swiss glaciers like Tsanfleuron and Aletsch have produced notable historical finds across decades.
