The man fell in open ski terrain and got stuck headfirst in the soaked snow cover. Attempts at resuscitation were unsuccessful, the Vorarlberg police said on Monday.
The well-equipped off-piste driver from Thuringia left with two companions for lunch in the open country when he did not arrive at the agreed meeting point, the Hasenbühel valley station, at around 12.20 p.m. With the help of another skier, his companions went in search of the missing man. The 68-year-old was discovered with the help of an avalanche transceiver at the foot of a ten-meter-high, steep edge of the terrain. He was without signs of life. He may have fallen over the edge in heavy snowfall and poor visibility, police said.
