The bodies of two men and a woman were found in Panticosa, an area in the northeastern region of Aragon popular with long-distance skiers, after an avalanche on the Tablato peak, the Civil Guard said.

Six people were practising ski mountaineering when the disaster struck. One woman was lightly injured with hypothermia and the two other skiers were unhurt, the force added.

The avalanche came after rescuers in the southern region of Andalusia found three bodies following weekend floods.
