Accident in the mountains: three deaths in the Swiss Alps

There are three victims of an accident in the Swiss Alps, in the canton of Valais. Three climbers were killed: two 31-year-old Belgians and a 28-year-old Frenchman . This morning, after leaving the Arpitettaz refuge, they roped up the Crete de Milon, just before the Tete de Milon, at 3,400 meters, when they fell. Two mountaineers of the group, who were in another consortium, launched the alarm.

The rescuers who arrived on the spot by helicopter could not help but ascertain the death of the three climbers and evacuate the other two. Well equipped, the three were not followed by mountain guides . The Swiss judiciary has opened an investigation.
