Saas, Switzerland - A German hiker, identified as Sebastian D., aged 44, has gone missing in the Swiss Alps during a solo trekking expedition. He embarked on his journey early in the morning on July 30, 2025, from the Almageller Hut, located at an altitude of 2,894 meters, with the intention of reaching the Weissmies Hut, approximately 13 kilometers away. However, he never arrived at his destination, prompting concern from family members and local authorities.
Family members reported Sebastian missing on August 2, two days after he was due to return. The local police in the canton of Valais have since launched a search operation and are actively looking for clues regarding his whereabouts. A police spokesperson confirmed that Sebastian is a German citizen and stressed the urgency of finding him.
The search efforts have so far yielded no leads. Authorities are uncertain whether he may have fallen, become lost, or encountered a more serious incident. The police have issued a public appeal, describing the missing individual as approximately 1.80 meters tall, of slim build, with short blonde hair and blue eyes. Details about his clothing at the time of his disappearance remain unknown.
The Almageller Hut, where Sebastian began his hike, is renowned as a launching point for high-altitude climbing and hiking endeavors, attracting both seasoned climbers and casual tourists. The area is characterized by rugged terrain, rushing streams, and fresh mountain air, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. However, the mountain landscape also poses significant risks, especially for solo hikers.
Local authorities are calling for witnesses who may have seen Sebastian or have any information to come forward. They can be contacted via the police hotline at +41(0)27-32 65 65 6.
This incident follows a series of unfortunate events in the region, including recent reports of multiple fatalities among hikers in the Alps, underscoring the inherent dangers of mountain trekking.
