In separate incidents, seven people, including a German teenager, have been killed by avalanches in northern Italy.

In one incident on Saturday, two Italian tourists were trapped in an avalanche while mountain climbing in the Trentino Alto Adige region.

Another avalanche killed four rescue workers of the seven-person team sent out to find the two trapped tourists.

A separate rescue expedition discovered that the two missing tourists had died and located their bodies.

And a 14-year-old German boy died on the spot in another avalanche in nearby Alto Adige as he was skiing off-piste with his brother and a friend.

The victim's brother was unhurt, while the third skier was taken to the hospital in the nearby city of Bolzano. His condition has not been reported.
