French Alps adventures turn deadly as avalanche kills 2, hiker dies in fall

Dozens of mountain rescuers were dispatched to search an area following an avalanche on France's Mont Blanc, when they found two dead skiers, including one man and one woman.

Dozens of mountain rescuers searched for survivors and managed to rescue six people, one with undisclosed injuries. The crews also recovered the bodies of one man and one woman who were deceased, the administration said.

‘’It’s terrible what happened. A family is decimated, and we are very sad in Saint-Gervais," Saint-Gervais Mayor Jean-Marc Peillex told BFM television. He also said the weather conditions were unstable, increasing the risk of danger during such outings. "It rained, it snowed, it was warm."
