Dos esquiadores probablemente franceses mueren en alud en los Alpes italianos

Dos esquiadores fuera de pista, probablemente franceses, perdieron la vida el domingo en un alud cerca de Courmayeur, Italia. Un tercer miembro del grupo se encuentra en estado grave en el hospital de Turín. Los rescatistas movilizaron a quince personas, perros y dos helicópteros para las operaciones de rescate.

El Servicio Italiano de Rescate Alpino (CNSAS) informó del incidente ocurrido el domingo en los Alpes italianos. Las víctimas, una mujer y dos hombres, realizaban esquí fuera de pista en el Canale dei Vesses, una zona empinada popular al oeste de Courmayeur, en la región de Val Veny al pie del Mont Blanc. Según el CNSAS, un esquiador murió en el lugar del alud, mientras que el segundo sucumbió a sus heridas en los servicios de emergencia. El tercero, también gravemente herido, recibe tratamiento en el hospital de Turín. Los rescatistas afirmaron que las víctimas eran «probablemente» francesas, sin proporcionar más detalles sobre sus identidades. Quince miembros del CNSAS participaron en la búsqueda, asistidos por perros de rescate y dos helicópteros. Esta zona, conocida por sus pasos técnicos, atrae a aficionados al freeride pero sigue sujeta a riesgos de aludes a pesar de las precauciones. El suceso pone de manifiesto los peligros continuos del esquí fuera de pista en los macizos alpinos, donde las condiciones de nieve pueden cambiar rápidamente.
