As a result of an avalanche that occurred in the autonomous region of Valle d'Aosta in northern Italy, three skiers have died. A representative of the regional rescue service reported this in an interview with RIA Novosti.
According to rescuers, the group consisted of two men and one woman, presumably citizens of France. The avalanche occurred in the Courmayeur area, where rescue helicopters, dog handlers, and other emergency services were dispatched.
According to a member of the mountain rescue service, one of the skiers was found dead at the scene, the second died on the way to Aosta, and the third died in a hospital in Turin, where the death was also recorded.
Additionally, another avalanche incident that occurred the day before in the Rem-Nord-Dame area led to a road blockage, leaving 250 people in a difficult situation. They were evacuated to a safe location, including the use of helicopters.
