Isabel had reached the summit at dawn on August 8 with three friends and the group planned to paraglide down to the valley.
She reportedly made the first jump, before immediately losing altitude and plummeting down the mountain.
The hiker was blown away by a "freak" gust of wind which caused her to slam into the snow-covered rocks.
She then tumbled around 1,600ft down the cliff face.
