Five cross-country skiers were found dead near Switzerland's Matterhorn on Sunday, as rescue teams continue to search for a sixth missing skier.
A desperate search for a missing cross-country skier near Switzerland’s Matterhorn has been hampered by extreme weather conditions after five other skiers were found dead along a ridge over the weekend. The six skiers, five of whom belonged to the same Swiss family, had set out in 'relatively good' conditions on Saturday before the weather deteriorated, Christian Varone, commander of Valais regional police, told a news conference in Sion, Switzerland.
Officials did not specify which skier was still missing. No names or further details were provided except that the skiers’ ages ranged between 21 and 58. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
