Later that afternoon, a 21-year-old man died when a massive avalanche was triggered while he and five friends were skiing off-piste on the Hoher Zinken mountain.
120 people participated in the rescue operation, but the man's life could not be saved.
A total of seven people have died since a heavy snowstorm hit on Friday, and there is still a high avalanche danger across large parts of the Austrian Alps.
