The avalanche occurred around noon local time on Sunday, on the eastern side of Punta Valgranda peak, located on the border between Italy and Switzerland. It is reported that the area was experiencing peak skiing activity at the time.
The skiers who perished were dragged hundreds of meters by the avalanche, sustaining fatal injuries. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of mountain sports.
Prior to the incident, an alert had been issued for areas above 2100 meters in the region, indicating a "considerable avalanche danger." Despite this warning, some skiers ventured into high-risk areas, ultimately leading to this tragic event.
