– The search is ongoing, says operations manager Inge Landsrød to VG.
The police reported the case at 03.45 at X. The man was reported missing by a friend in the tour group shortly after midnight.
– It is a difficult, steep terrain to search in. That is why we have launched air resources, says Landsrød.
The weather is good, and the temperature is a few degrees below zero.
The police also use drones and dogs in the search.
Operations leader Øyvind Larsen tells VG’s freelancers on the spot that the gang has been on a trip to Preståsen and made a fire and enjoyed themselves.
– He left the tour group, and we cannot get in touch with him. So we are trying to find him and find out if he may have fallen and hit himself. No one has heard anything from him.
– The terrain is rugged and steep.
