Two skiers died on February 15 and another was in serious condition after an avalanche hit a slope near Courmayeur, Italy's alpine rescue service said.
Italy's central alpine rescue service (CNSAS) said the two victims and the injured person were a woman and two men, and were "probably" French.
The avalanche hit part of the Canale dei Vesses, known for its steep passes popular with off-piste skiers, west of Courmayeur in the Val Veny area at the foot of Mont Blanc.
Fifteen rescuers took part in the search, along with search and rescue dogs and two helicopters, CNSAS said.
The third ski climber is in very serious condition and has been transported to Le Molinette in Turin.
The investigation of the incident has been entrusted to the Guardia di Finanza in Entreves. /Telegraph/
