A British climber has died after falling from a glacier during a descent from a 12,500ft mountain in the French Alps.
The mountaineer, who has not been named, was reportedly coming down the Grands Couloirs glacier when he fell at around 11am on Sunday.
The man, in his sixties, reportedly 'fell from his rope' during the descent, above the town of Pralognan-la-Vanoise, in Savoie.
Initial reports said that the victim had been joined by a climbing companion, also English, on their hike.
The two had not been attached by climbing ropes before the fall, France3 reports.
