Has an evil wind carried them away?

Two mountaineers, missing in a Savoyard massif in the Alps, have been actively sought by the rescue services since the end of the day on Saturday, reports France Bleu.

It was hikers with whom they shared the refuge at the Col de la Vanoise, where the two mountaineers had left their belongings and their car key who sounded the alarm when they did not see them return on Saturday at the end of the day.



Aerial searches were dispatched from Saturday until nightfall.

These have so far remained unsuccessful and resumed again this Sunday.
