Generally, the lake consists of areas with deep water and unexpected currents, and swimming in uncontrolled areas can cause risks.

This year is not the first such tragedy to include Saudi tourists in Switzerland. In a deep emotional event in July 2024, Dr. Abdullah Alnaji, a respected Saudi Academic, drowned in the Swiss Alps near the Gesebach waterfall, attempting to save his two -year -old son in the Brianz Lake. Dr. Alanzi was on a family holiday when the incident occurred. Taking pictures by beautiful waterfalls, his son, Abdulziz, allegedly slipped and fell into the water. In a frustrated attempt to save his child, Dr. Alanzi jumped after that. Both were swept away by powerful streams as their wife and daughter saw scary. Rescue teams, including helicopters and boats, responded rapidly and made an intensive two-day discovery. Dr. Alaanaji’s body was eventually recovered. The discovery of young Abdulziz continues. Dr. Alanazi was the head of the Research Unit at the Applied Medical Sciences College in Riyadh and was widely honored in his area.Although unrelated, both incidents have drew focus on water security among passengers going to Switzerland. Alpine lakes, rivers and waterfalls may look calm, but often hide dangerous conditions such as slippery rocks, sudden drops and rapidly growing water.
