Avalanches kill 8 people in the Italian Alps

At least eight people died over the weekend because of several snow avalanches recorded in the Italian Alps, as confirmed Monday the National Corps of Rescue and Alpine Speleology (CNSAS).

The agency detailed in his account on the social network Twitter that six people died in the Aosta Valley, two in Lombardy and in the province of Bolzano. "In the latter case, it is about a young man of 18 years," he said.

For the time being, they have not transcended the identity of the deadly victims, who were in any case off-piste skiers, according to the CNSAS.
