He was later found with help from a sniffer dog brought in by local police.
“It’s a miracle because [the boy] had no victim-detection device,” one of the rescuers told AFP.
“The chances of survival are minuscule after 15 minutes under the snow.”
The boy, who suffered only a broken leg, is being treated at a local hospital.
