Second deadly avalanche hits Spanish Pyrenees
Madrid, Jan 1 (AFP) Jan 01, 2026
An avalanche near a mountain resort in the Spanish Pyrenees killed a snowshoer, police said Thursday, days after another avalanche in the area killed three skiers.

The body of the man was found Thursday in the Bielsa Valley in the northeastern Aragon region, the Civil Guard said.

Two men were caught in the avalanche while snowshoeing on Wednesday, trapping one beneath the snow while the other escaped unharmed and was able to raise the alarm from a nearby mountain refuge.

The Civil Guard released a video showing officers with shovels, backed by rescue dogs, searching for the man swept up by the avalanche.

On Monday, an avalanche in the same area killed two men and a woman who were skiing. Another woman suffered mild hypothermia.

Authorities urged caution in mountainous areas amid winter weather and continuing avalanche risk.
