: A British woman has died after getting caught in an avalanche as she was hiking with two other people on the Mont Blanc, rescue services said on Sunday.
The accident happened on Saturday on the Argentiere Glacier, one of the Mont Blanc mountain range's biggest glaciers. The Mont Blanc, western Europe's highest mountain at 4,800 metres , attracts 20,000 hikers and skiers every year.Police have ordered an investigation of the accident and an autopsy.The Mont Blanc's popularity poses a growing security and environmental challenge, local officials have warned.
Warmer temperatures in recent years have melted permafrost, raising the risk of rock falls on the most popular routes. In August, authorities closed down two popular mountain shelters used by Mont Blanc climbers because of potentially deadly drought-related rockfalls.
