A 44-year-old man and his 11-year-old daughter have died after being swept away by an avalanche in the French Alps, according to local media.
BFMTV reports that the two skiers, who were from Paris, died after an avalanche in the Val d’Isere area, at an altitude of 3,000 metres.
Cecile Ferrando, a spokeswoman for the tourist centre at the ski station, said they were part of a larger group.
The ski runway had reportedly been closed due to the risk of an avalanche.
