It is useless to continue to warn the passionate skiers about the risk of avalanches on the mountains forever. Last Sunday, there was a second victim of an avalanche in three days. He was an Englishman doing ski touring, when he was taken by an avalanche in Rhêmes-Notre Dame. The man, 37 years old, was doing a ski touring trip with five compatriots and a guide in the descent of Pointe Palette, above the refuge Benevolo. This is one of the most popular routes for skiers touring in the spring. The accident was checked at an altitude of 2800 meters. A huge avalanche, 400 meters long with 100 meters wide, took the skier, who was the only victim. He was taken out of the snow by his own comrades still alive, but died during transport by helicopter to a hospital in Aosta. Le Dauphiné
