The 22-year-old men got lost after setting off from the resort of Savognin, in south east Switzerland on Friday. They were suffering from mild hypothermia as they has to endure overnight temperatures of -15C.
They were able to alert the authorities using a mobile phone, but it when it ran out of battery power all they had left was an MP3 player, which the snowboarder had been using to listen to music.
Airborne rescuers were eventually able to reach the pair high on a wooded slope after being guided by the light of the digital music player.
