One person is dead and four are injured after an avalanche hit a group of eight climbers on the Castore mountain in the Monte Rosa massif on Monday, the Aosta Valley Alpine Rescue Service said.
    The service said that injured people had been taken to hospital in Aosta after managing to reach the party on foot - bad weather conditions did not enable rescuers to get to the scene on the avalanche by helicopter.
    The deadly event comes after four mountaineers, two Italians and two South Koreans, were reported missing on the Italian side of Mont Blanc at the weekend.
    The weather conditions have made it impossible for rescuers to search for them so far.
