He is recovering in a local hospital.The body of 66-year-old Vorarlberg man was discovered at the bottom of a cliff four days after going missing at the skiing and hiking resort of Lombardy, Italy.More than 100 people volunteered in searching for the man after managers of a campsite in the town of Piurlo informed authorities after he failed to return from a days hiking trip.
