A 65-year-old British Skier has lost his life on Tuesday after violently smashing into a tree at the French ski resort of Avoriaz in Morzine.
It was reported the Skier was on a high speed when he left the piste and collided with a nearby tree. He was pronounced death at the spot when the local authorities got to the scene.
Avoriaz is situated among 12 other ski resorts in the expansive Portes du Soleil region, spanning both France and Switzerland. It is a favored destination for those who enjoy alpine activities.
Another British skier also died after descending the “Swiss Wall” route in the Portes du Soleil area near Avoriaz in February. The skier, aged 47, lost control and fell down the side of the mountain, resulting in his death being confirmed at the scene.
According to CBI news, a 30-year-old Briton died following a heavy fall at the Serre Chevalier resort the week before.
He was pronounced dead after being taken to Grenoble University Hospital.
Ski resort boss Patrick Arnaud said: “The victim was discovered by a patroller who immediately raised the alarm.”
He added: “Joined by several other trackers, they provided first aid. All the ski area teams are affected by this tragedy and all our thoughts are with the family.”
