At least six skiers have been killed in an avalanche in the Italian Alps, with several others possibly missing or injured, the BBC reported.
The avalanche struck at an altitude of more than 3,000m, on Monte Nevoso in the Ahrntal in South Tyrol.
The area is near the Austrian border, around 70km from Bolzano.
Three helicopters had been used to take mountain rescue teams and specialist avalanche dogs to the scene.
The group were ski mountaineers, according to reports, who climb up mountains and then ski down.
The skiers were of various nationalities, including Italians.
It is unclear how many have survived, or whether everyone had been accounted for.
