Experts from the mountain search and rescue department in the village of Lazeschyna have sought for teeangers for eight hours in the evening. On the Hoverla mountain, because of the fog and wet snowfall the group lost direction and was divided. In particular, nine people returned to the assembly point at the sports camp of Zaroslyak. Three others from the Ivano-Frankivsk region were found by rescuers in the mountain valley of Kozmeska. And the two girls and a young man, who got lost, walked to the Tihovets valley.
As students did not need medical assistance, they were sent to the railroad station in the village of Lazeshchyna to board a diesel train on the Rakhiv-Kolomyia route.
