Two skiers and a base jumper have died in Switzerland in recent days. These are the first reports issued by the Swiss police about deaths this winter sports season.
On Thursday, two skiers were buried by an avalanche on Piz Grivasalvas, a 2,932-metre-high mountain near the border with Italy. Teams of dogs were deployed to rescue them.
When the two 42-year-old men were stripped of their snow gear, it was discovered that one of them was already dead. The other man was taken to hospital in critical condition.
