A single-engine homebuilt aircraft took off from runway 03 at Samedan (LSZS). Shortly after takeoff, at an altitude of about 200 meters above the ground, the pilot noticed a drop in engine power, prompting him to make an emergency landing in the direction of flight on a snow-covered terrain northeast of Bever (GR). The aircraft was heavily damaged during the landing, but the pilot was uninjured.
