Another Fatal Avalanche in the Alps

3rd February 2025

The off piste skier was with a friend on the Bonneval-sur-Arc ski area in France in the Haute Maurienne region when an avalanche struck.

It was 200m wide and 1m deep.

It has been described as ‘massive’ by the authorities.

The friend found the victim using his avalanche transceiver and then raised the alarm.

He was  beyond help and was pronounced dead at the scene.

After the recent snowfalls the authorities are urging people to exercise caution off piste and to carry all the necessary safety equipment.
