His family reported him missing after losing contact with him. Then the Italian police launched a large-scale search operation, according to what was reported by the newspaper “La Stampa”. His car was found in Macugnaga.
Helicopters, drones and mountain rescue teams are working, but heavy snowfall with around 40cm of fresh snow makes the search more difficult. So far there is no trace of the mountaineer.
