An avalanche swept down Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps, killing two people. As reports La Repubblica, both — are residents of Italy.
The victims were 28-year-old Edoardo Camardella and 32-year-old Luca Martini. According to some media reports, they ignored a morning warning that an avalanche could occur on the mountain and still decided to climb it.
Rescue teams, dogs and a helicopter were involved in the search operation. The climbers' bodies will be taken to the Courmayeur morgue for identification.
The avalanche came down 500 metres below the Skyway cable car station, located on the Italian side. Mont Blanc lies on the border between France and Italy.
