The avalanche in Val d’Isere swept away six skiers, killing one French national and the two Britons, prosecutor Benoit Bachelet said. A third British citizen suffered minor injuries, he added.

There have now been at least 25 avalanche deaths in France this winter season, with the majority occurring since January.
