Lyon, Jan 29 (AFP) Jan 29, 2025
An avalanche in the French Alps on Wednesday killed three Norwegian skiers swept away by the torrent of snow and ice, officials in the southeastern Savoie region told AFP.

The victims were part of a group of seven Norwegian skiers caught in the avalanche in Val-Cenis, on the border with Italy.

One other skier was gravely hurt while the remaining three were unharmed, an official in the Savoie prefect's department said.

A team of 10 high-mountain rescue specialists were deployed for the operation, according to a police source.
