In a clip of one incident, a rescuer can be seen carefully moving towards a red vehicle that is buried in the snow.

He has skis on his feet and also two ski poles to help him to move.

After walking up to the car, the man, who is a member of the Civil Guard, rubs snow and ice off of the vehicle’s window to see if anyone is inside.

He manages to wedge open the car door when he spots someone trapped in the vehicle.

Another clip shows members of the Spanish government agency trekking through thick snow.

The visibility in the mountainous area appears to be very poor due to the cold weather.

In another video, a rescuer tends to another operation down the side of a mountain, and uses a rope to help the person who was stuck.

Another clip shows several people walking through the snow in the dark as they are led by the Civil Guard back to safety.

Mountain Rescue and Intervention Groups were able to locate and save those who were stuck.

It is a special unit that is part of the Spanish Civil Guard.

The rescue operations took place over the weekend on 7 December and 8 December, as reported by Need To Know.

On 9 December, the Civil Guard shared a clip and a short statement about the rescue on social media.

Since being shared, the video has attracted almost 20,000 views.

In the post, they wrote: ”During the Constitution weekend, specialists from the mountain rescue and intervention groups of Guardia Civil have rescued 7 people in 3 different services carried out in the province of Huesca.”
