A skier from France is also killed with manslaughter investigation to be carried out by mountain rescue police
Two Britons are among three skiers to have been killed in an avalanche in the French Alps.
The pair were part of a group of five people, accompanied by an instructor, off-piste skiing in Val d’Isère, in south-east France. A French national, who was skiing alone, was also killed.
Albertville prosecutor Benoit Bachelet said the ski instructor, who avoided injury, tested negative after taking blood and drug tests. He added that another British person had sustained minor injuries.
A manslaughter investigation was launched by the Albertville public prosecutor’s office and will be carried out by CRS Alpes mountain rescue police.
