The Campania alpine rescue service handled several calls for hikers in difficulty over the weekend, according to IrpiniaNews, including a search for a missing person in Cervinara.
The Prefecture of Avellino activated the Cervinara search late yesterday afternoon. The identity of the missing person and the outcome of the search remain unknown.
In the Valle dell’Inferno area of Mount Vesuvius, a woman suffered a shoulder injury during an excursion. Her alert was sent through GeoResQ, which helped locate her position, according to IrpiniaNews.
CNSAS technicians and medical personnel treated the woman, assisted her along the descent and handed her over to 118 at a paved road. The exact number, locations and outcomes of the other weekend callouts remain unknown.
The CNSAS says its canine units are trained for surface searches and other operational scenarios involving missing people. The service reports 13,037 rescue missions in 2025, including assistance to people in difficulty and searches for missing people.
Mountain emergencies in Italy should be reported through 118 or, where active, the European emergency number 112, according to the CNSAS. Callers should provide precise information about the person, location, conditions and access difficulties.
