At least four people have died in an avalanche in the French Alps, the country’s interior minister, Gerald Darmanin, has said.

It happened at the Armancette glacier near Mont Blanc in south-eastern France around midday on Sunday local time.

Search and rescue dogs and mountain-rescue teams worked all day to try to reach those who were caught, who are all thought to have been back-country skiing. The search for two missing people is expected to resume on Monday.
