Overview
- Regional emergency services launched the operation after a 112 caller reported a disoriented hiker showing exhaustion in poor visibility and wind.
- The Castilla y León rescue helicopter flew several reconnaissance runs with two rescuers on board, including a nurse, but found no trace.
- After dark, teams began a ground search with members of the Sabero Mountain Rescue Group combing the terrain.
- At first light, an Apolo mobile command post, a truck that serves as a field headquarters, coordinated teams on site while the helicopter waited for a weather break.
- Authorities requested support from the Principality of Asturias, and the search area centers on the Canal de Moeño near Torre de Pamarroso where heavy snow has complicated work.
