Recent spring snow over Europe’s higher elevations has triggered many a deadly avalanche, from Norway to Italy.
Over the weekend, an avalanche near Mount Blanc in southeastern France killed six people — two mountain guides and four tourists. The cascading snow hit the Armancette glacier and covered an area of 1,000 meters by 500 meters.
Helicopters were dispatched to the scene, but rescue efforts were hindered by the threat of further avalanches.
