Five cross-country skiers found dead in Switzerland
Monday, 11 March 2024 Five cross-country skiers were found dead in Switzerland's Valais canton. A search is still on for a sixth skier who went missing during a ski tour that departed from Zermatt. The skiers went missing around Tete Blanche mountain on the Zermatt-Arolla path. A storm and avalanches prevented helicopters and rescuers from approaching the area.
Helicopters were combing an area near the Matterhorn mountain in Switzerland on Monday (March 11) with hope fading of finding a missing skier after five other members of the party were found dead after freezing to death in "catastrophic" conditions.
