A reality star has miraculously survived after plunging around 330ft down a mountain during a terrifying hiking accident.
Ella Vișan said she fell into the void after losing her footing on a snowy section of the mountain.
She suffered an open wound, grazes, bruising and pain throughout her body after the huge fall.

Ella, a former contestant on the Romanian reality show Insula Iubirii, said she had been walking separately from the rest of her group when she could no longer see the trail markings.
She strayed from the route and reached a section covered in snow before losing her footing and falling a reported 100 metres.
The reality star said she was wearing small crampons on her boots, but they failed to grip the snowy terrain.
She ended up in a valley after the fall and needed help to get back to an accessible area.
Ella later thanked the rescuers who ventured down into the valley to bring her out of the difficult terrain.
She was then taken by ambulance to the Emergency Hospital in Sibiu, Romania, for medical checks.
The accident happened during a hike towards the summit of Mount Negoiu on Saturday (3 Oct).
Ella shared footage of herself after the accident, showing a wound on her forehead and multiple grazes and injuries to her face and hands.
She said: “I fell into the void. An experience I will never forget and never want to repeat.”
She also joked about her unexpected journey home, saying: “I was worried about how I would get from Porumbacu to Brașov; now I know for sure I will get there by ambulance.”
She added: “We laugh and joke, but it was horrible.”
At the hospital, doctors carried out several tests, including a CT scan, which she said came back clear.
Ella said: “I had an open wound and several grazes. My whole body hurts, but I’m fine.”
She said the CT scan came back OK and she was subsequently discharged.
The accident has also forced her to put another major plan on hold after she revealed she had been due to appear on Survivor, as reported by Need To Know.
Ella said the participation had been kept secret until now, but the accident means she can no longer take part this year.
She said: “The only negative aspect, besides all the grazes, is that I was supposed to go to Survivor.
“But that’s how God wanted it. Maybe next year, who knows?”
She is now focusing on recovering after what she described as an experience she never wants to repeat.
