In an operation that marked the successful completion of a challenging mission, a father and daughter were rescued from a trail above the Valasco plain in the Valdieri territory on Wednesday, August 20.

The hike of the hiker and his daughter was hindered by adverse trail conditions caused by rain. Faced with these difficulties, they made the wise decision to raise the alarm instead of continuing their hike.
