The mountains took two souls who lived passionately, adventured fearlessly, and inspired thousands. On December 29, 55-year-old Spanish pediatrician and influencer Jorge García Dihinx and his wife Natalia Román tragically lost their lives in a devastating avalanche near Panticosa, high on Tablato Peak. Alongside them, skier Eneko Arrastua, 48, also perished, while a fourth skier survived with hypothermia and two others emerged unharmed. Rescue teams worked tirelessly, but nature’s force proved unforgiving. 🚁🏔️
Jorge was more than a doctor — he was a mentor, an adventurer, and a guiding light for his 375,000+ Instagram followers.
Through his blog, La Meteo Que Viene, and social media, he shared not only mountain tips and health advice but also the joy of living fully, with one recent post reflecting: “We go to the mountains for moments like these. At 3,000 meters, while the modern world remains below, up there you’re only focused on the next step.” 🌄✨
Natalia shared Jorge’s love for adventure, herself an accomplished mountain athlete. Together, they formed a remarkable partnership, inspiring others to embrace nature, respect its power, and find connection and joy in the great outdoors.
Their energy, guidance, and compassion left a lasting mark on the Pyrenean community and all who followed their journeys. ❤️
Friends, colleagues, and followers are reeling in disbelief. Comments on Jorge’s posts reflect the heartbreak: “I can’t and don’t want to believe it. Thank you for so much.” and “We are completely in shock. He was a great one.” 😢💔 Their loss is a painful reminder that even the most skilled and experienced adventurers face nature’s ultimate unpredictability. ⚠️❄️
No public memorials have been announced, and the family requests privacy during this unimaginable time.
Yet, the legacy of Jorge and Natalia endures — in every trail they hiked, every peak they conquered, and every life they touched with their courage, guidance, and love. 🌟💐
Jorge García Dihinx and Natalia Román will be remembered not only for their daring adventures but for the joy, inspiration, and knowledge they shared. In the hearts of the mountain community and their followers, they will forever climb alongside us. 🏔️💖
