Avalanches over the weekend in the French Alps and Austria have killed seven people. Most victims were skiers off the marked pistes. Authorities continue to warn of high avalanche risk.
Following recent snowfalls, avalanche danger in the Alps has risen to level 4 out of 5. From the Allgäu Alps in Bavaria to the French Alps, experts are warning for Sunday of spontaneous avalanches that can trigger with minimal load or on their own. Professionals urge great caution and restraint off the pistes.

French Alpine ski resorts are multiplying festive events, such as free concerts or themed festivals, to liven up off-peak periods and attract new audiences. Beyond the fun aspect, these events have become strategic marketing tools, with budgets up to 30% of tourism offices. Examples like Ben Harper's concert in Vars illustrate this trend.
