Avalanche in Val di Rhemes, the three missing have been identified

The three ski mountaineers who have been missing since yesterday under an avalanche in Val di Rhemes , in the Gran Paradiso area, in Valle d'Aosta have been identified.

They are still under the snow and there is little hope of finding them still alive. We are talking about three students of the course for alpine guides of the Valle d'Aosta: Lorenzo Holzknecht , 39 years old, ski mountaineering champion, born in Sondalo and raised in Bormio, Sandro Dublanc , 44 years old, ski instructor of Champorcher, and the financier Elia Meta , aged 37, serving in the Entreves barracks.

On site, by helicopter, the Valle d'Aosta Alpine Rescue and the Alpine Rescue of the financial police.
