The woman was reached, stabilized, loaded onto the stretcher and carried on a sedan chair.
After a long and tiring transport, caused not only by the long distance (2 kilometres) but also by the steep difference in altitude (300 metres), the group reached the "Passo Silana" where the ambulance was waiting for it to be transported to the hospital.
