The hiker is said to have fallen 100 feet from Santner via ferrata in Catinaccio, in the Dolomites, in northern Italy. She was hiking with her husband at the time of the accident and the couple were descending the mountain shortly before 2pm on their way to Coronelle Refuge when she lost her balance. The Briton’s body was then recovered by a mountain rescue team who deployed helicopters to assist the mission. The victim has not yet been identified to local media. A few days earlier, a 55-year-old tourist died hiking the famous mountain range after losing his grip along the Santner via ferrata. A week ago a young man also died when he fell from the Laurenzi via ferrata also in Catinaccio. Earlier this month, an avalanche in the Dolomites killed nearly a dozen people when a huge chunk of ice broke off a melting glacier and sent a torrent of ice, rock and debris onto hikers below. The news comes weeks after British tourist Gerard Christopher Turner was found dead at the bottom of a cliff after disappearing on a walk in the woods near where he was staying with his family in Lezzono, Lake Como, near the Alps in northern Italy . A helicopter, using a thermal scanner, was used to try to locate the tourist before his body was eventually found at the bottom of a canyon by drones flown by firefighters. A British sales manager was also feared drowned on holiday after diving into Lake Garda in northern Italy to save his teenage son. Aran Chada, 51, was on a boat trip to northern Italy on Friday with his partner, their 14-year-old son and their daughter when the incident happened. Aran Chada is presumed dead after diving into a lake to save his son (Is provided) The sales manager, spotted for the first time, was reportedly enjoying an outing with his family to celebrate his upcoming birthday. They were about 500 meters from shore in the rented pleasure boat when he noticed the teenager had become entangled in the water. Mr Chada managed to get his son back onto the boat and his partner, Holly Mosley, 39, dragged the boy back to the boat. However, Mr Tsada slipped below the surface, “perhaps having a seizure”, as his family looked on in horror, coastguard commander Antonello Ragandale said. Lifeboats, helicopters, divers and an underwater robot were called to the lake, which is up to 300 meters deep in some places, but after hours of searching there was no sign of Mr Chada. The Independent has approached the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office for comment.
