Avalanche in Swiss resort kills three skiers after days of snow
Tehran (KNA) - An avalanche in the Swiss Alps has swept skiers down a mountainside, killing three of them and injuring two others.
The skiers were part of a tour group in the Valais area, in southwestern Switzerland.
All three who died are believed to have been Spanish nationals.
They were near the area of Fiescheralp, and at an altitude of nearly 2,500m (8,000ft), when the snow mass detached.
Skiers from another group, who saw the avalanche, called in emergency services but the search had to be suspended over night because of bad weather.
