The mountain took Pascal Buchs. The Hauts-Geneveys athlete died on Friday, Swiss Orienteering communicated on its website on Saturday. The Neuchâtel resident was on a ski tour with his father in Valais when a mass of snow came loose under his skis. An avalanche then carried him away. “Despite the resuscitation measures taken quickly and the transfer to Sion hospital, he succumbed to his injuries,” the press release said. The 27-year-old young man, member of the Neuchâtel Orienteering Association (ANCO), distinguished himself last fall, with a second place in the relay at the military world championships in Spain. Since 2018 and his entry into the elite framework of Swiss Orienteering, the Vaudruzien had also participated in world championship races, the European Cup or the Swiss championships, during which he won several medals. Without forgetting his numerous participations in regional races.

His family provides a testimony on the ANCO website, recalling that Pascal Bucs “leaves too soon, but he will have enjoyed every moment of his life”.

A tribute for Pascal Buchs will take place on Thursday January 2 at 1 p.m. at Gollières in Hauts-Geneveys (outdoors). The Swiss Orienteering press release asks that the private sphere of the bereaved be respected. /comm-swe
