By Kathryn ArmstrongBBC News
At least four people have died in an avalanche in the French Alps , the country's Interior Minister , Gerald Darmanin , has said.
The Incident happened at the Armancette glacier near Mont Blanc in south-eastern France around midday on Sunday local time.
It's thought The Victims were among a group of hikers.
Mr Darmanin said several others were injured and a search and rescue operation was under way.
Both he and French President Emmanuel Macron expressed their sympathy to The Victims and their loved ones.
Before The Incident , the nearby ski resort of Contamines-Montjoie posted a video on Social Media showing a huge wall of snow moving down from the Dômes de Miage, which the glacier is a part of.
The resort urged people to Be Careful if they were venturing off-piste - Away from the prepared ski runs.
Officials from the Haute-Savoie prefecture, where The Incident took place, told the AFP news agency that a further avalanche could not be ruled out.
