April 11, 2018

A tourist had a pretty rough night after he got lost on his way back to his hotel and found himself climbing the Italian Alps.

An Estonian tourist known as Pavel, had one too many drinks at Cervinia Resort when he decided to call it a night and head back to his hotel. Unfortunately, he took a wrong turn and began heading up the mountainside.

According to Italian newspaper La Stampa, Pavel didn't notice that he had taken a wrong turn until it was too late.

At some point between 2 and 3 am, Pavel finally realized that he had made a mistake, but through sheer luck he stumbled across Igloo, a restaurant and bar that was closed for the night. He broke in to seek shelter.

Staff discovered Pavel in the morning, sleeping on a makeshift bed made out of a bench and a few cushions.

A search party made up of the fire brigade, police and drones had been dispatched to locate the lost tourist before he was found safe and sound in the bar.

Local police said he will be fined for his escapade but will not be charged with anything, News.com.au reported.
