A British man has died after falling more than 600ft while trekking in Austria.

The 42-year-old was walking with a companion yesterday in the Tyrol in the West of the country when he fell 200m down a steep slope.

The man has not yet been named and police have not released any further details, but said neither the dead man nor his companion were experienced climbers.
