CARE & VARSOM

In 22 April 2023, a group of three were caught in an avalanche in the Godmother Couloir in Lyngen, in Northern Norway. Two of them were severely injured and had to be airlifted out for life-saving treatment. It was a matter of life and death… One managed to get out on his own and rushed to the hospital.

Niels Sole Semb and Victor Rizzardi speak openly and honestly about their experience from the day of the accident—what went wrong, and what lessons can be learned.

Niels told his story in an avalanche seminar. You can see his story here:

The incident is documented in the FriFlyt series Begravet.

And also in the TV2 series Reddet

Host: Tarjei Skille

Guests: Niels Sole Semb and Victor Rizzardi
