Mountain rescue teams found the bodies of two Italian tourists after an avalanche Sunday in the Alps, near the Italian-Swiss border, Reuters reported.
One body was found buried in snow, while another was pulled from a lake after an avalanche at an altitude of about 2,200 meters in the Val Formazza area of Italy’s Piedmont region, the CNSAS alpine rescue group said in a statement.
A specialist rescue team was sent to the scene by helicopter, despite strong winds in the area, after the alarm was raised around midday (1100 GMT). A dog trained in rescue operations also helped to find the bodies.
The victims, who were wearing snowshoes to help navigate the mountain, are a 30-year-old woman and a 53-year-old man, Italian media reported.
They were from the Lombardy region in northern Italy.
