Aosta – An avalanche broke out shortly after 1pm in the Piccolo San Bernardo area, above La Thuile, overwhelming two skiers. One managed to pull himself out of the mass of snow by himself while the second, a 25-year-old from Lombardy, was extracted by the Alpine Rescue men who reached the area in a few minutes: transported to hospital by helicopter, he died in the afternoon.
The alarm was raised by a third person, that was not hit by the snow.
In addition to the Aosta Valley Alpine Rescue, the financial police and the pisteurs of the company that manages the ski lifts also intervened.
