A man in his fifties died on Saturday coming down from the summit of the Olan, in the Ecrins massif (Hautes-Alpes). Her 18-year-old daughter was seriously injured, we learned from mountain rescue.
They were swept away by a patch of snow on the way back down from the glacier via the Escarra route, said the Briançon CRS. The man then fell. He was unconscious when his daughter, held back by the rope, regained consciousness and was able to call for help.
