As local media reports, on July 12 this year, mountaineers found a shoe, several pieces of equipment and bones on the Theodul Glacier (Valais Alps).

The latter came to the forensic medicine department of Sion (canton of Valais). The alpinist was identified with the help of a DNA analysis. The 38-year-old at the time of his disappearance was traveling near Zermatt and had not returned from a tour.

The retreat of the glaciers is bringing to light an increasing number of missing alpinists who were reported missing several decades ago.
