Mountain dramas have been linked for a few weeks. Two mountaineers, a 40-year-old Dutchman and a 30-year-old Frenchwoman died on Tuesday after a fatal fall in the Aiguilles Rouges range (Haute-Savoie), as the rescuers reported.

Their bodies were found around 2:30 p.m., after a call from a witness, at 2,200 meters above sea level, at the level of the chapel of Glière. The circumstances of this accident remain unknown this Wednesday. Tuesday, still in Haute-Savoie, a 71-year-old hiker killed himself after falling to 2,400 meters above sea level, while he was near the summit of Mont de Grange, in the Chablais massif.
