Google Translated Description
The missing people had entered the mountain on skis and, around 3pm, lost their way down the mountain and were late returning home, so their families, worried that they had not come home, called the police (the red lights of the police car searching the area near the trailhead became a landmark and they were able to descend the mountain on their own).
