A 40-year-old skier died when he apparently set off an avalanche while coming down a mountain in the Pyrenees in southern France, sources told AFP on Sunday.Police found the man's body after an avalanche on Saturday on the Pique d'Endron, a mountain peak near the Spanish border.
The skier had been alone on the mountain at the time, according to the sources.
Avalanches tend to be more deadly in the French Alps, a more popular skiing destination with higher altitudes where at least 28 people have died this year.
