Strong winds and snow forced the mountain rescuers to suspend the search earlier on Thursday. But just before 21 o’clock found the two societies unharmed in the shelters at Jovvatjåhkka where they were last seen on Tuesday night, police said on its website.
The rescued persons escorted during the evening to Serve hut.
Anders Foams are reindeer herders in Ammarnas. He said earlier during Thursday night that it was foul weather conditions on the mountain.
– It switches instantly between rain, sun and snow. If they are not in a shelter, it is deadly serious. Not even we who are mountains habit would go out in this weather, he told SVT Västerbottensnytt.
SMHI has issued a Class 1 warning in the area, and there is still harsh weather conditions in the mountains of Västerbotten.
The rescue operation was launched after an alarm from a landlord, when weather conditions became worse and societies did not return from the mountain. Sökinsatsen has been focused on reaching the windbreak, where it hoped that the six people stayed in the shelter.
According to police, it has been unclear how much food, clothing and equipment persons were with him.
