Four people died in an avalanche on the Tyrolean-Swiss border on Friday.
One person is still missing, as several Austrian media reported, citing the control center in Tyrol.
Information on the identity and nationality of the victims was initially not available.
Rescue helicopters from Austria and Switzerland were deployed at the scene of the accident.
With a total of 13 exits, the control center counted an unusually large number of avalanches by early Friday afternoon.
In Sölden am Rettenbachferner, five winter sports enthusiasts were buried, but were rescued alive.
German skier rescued
A skier from Germany could also be rescued the day before.
She was buried by an avalanche in Tyrol on Thursday and was rescued alive after 15 minutes.
As the police confirmed on Friday, the 20-year-old was in the Glungezer ski area near Tulfes with a small group off the secured slopes when she probably triggered a slab of snow herself.
The young woman was completely buried by the snow masses.
Her two passengers and another ski group immediately set about digging up the winter sportswoman.
According to the police, she was found at a depth of 1 to 1.5 meters.
The woman was unconscious, but her breathing and circulation were still functioning.
"In any case, it's a total stroke of luck if you survive for 15 minutes," said a police spokesman for the German Press Agency.
The woman, who lives in Innsbruck, was flown to a hospital with injuries.
The woman and her colleagues were well equipped with electronic tracking devices, avalanche probes and shovels in the ski area, where there is a considerable risk of avalanches, as in all of Tyrol.
According to experts, rapid rescue by companions is of crucial importance, since the chances of survival for those buried under the snow decrease rapidly within a short period of time.
