Further details of the accident are not yet known. Investigators flew to the crash site Tuesday afternoon. It must be located at an altitude of 2,800 meters in snow-covered, alpine terrain.
Contact with the German pilot was lost on Saturday afternoon. Tourists and a cottage owner reported a low-flying small plane in the Stubai and Ötztal Alps. The search operation resumed on Tuesday morning after storms and rain over the past few days made search operations difficult.
