British women killed to the French Alps.read more.

A British woman is among three mountaineers
who were killed when an avalanche cascaded
down on them in the Mont-Blanc range of the
French Alps, reports said.
BFM television news channel said the woman,
understood to be Anglo-Polish, died along with a
Slovak woman and their German guide while on
the Mont Maudit, which translates as the Cursed
Mountain.
Rescue services launched a search for the
climbers after they were reported missing on
Wednesday, a day after they had set out on their
climb on the mountain whose peak lies at 14,649
feet, it said.
The bodies of the two women were found in a
narrow gully on Wednesday evening, while the
German was found on Thursday morning around
dawn, reports said.
“The group was carried away by an avalanche of
seracs, or large blocks of ice,” a rescue official
told FranceTVinfo news website.
Their reported deaths came just days after a
spate of deadly accidents last weekend in the
French Alps.
A wingsuit jumper, two rock climbers, a hang-
gliding instructor and a paraglider were the
victims in the grim series of deaths that came as
holidaymakers flocked to the mountain range at
the height of the tourist season.
