50 people from Serbia, from the city of Vršac were also present, but fortunately they are all safe and sound.

Avalanche completely covered the group of 10 high-school students from Lyon and  their skiing instructor, causing death of two kids and another skier.

There were also 50 people from Serbia in the French Alps, members of the "Team Adrenalin".

- The most important thing is that we are all safe. Today my girlfriend and me went by the place where avalanche had happened and everything was clear. Soon there came 3 helicopters and more than 200 people in the rescue mission. They were digging, they even deployed rescue dogs to find the people - explains Bojan Gvozdenov from the "Team Adrenalin".

According to the British "The Guardian", a 14-year-old high-school student died as well as his school friend.

Four people were gravely injured and transported to the hospital in Grenoble, along with their instructor who was found unconscious.

A skier from Ukraine was also dead, but he was not a member of the group.

Just to remind, the avalanche started around 16:00 at about 50km from the Italian border.

This part of the mountain was already closed and risky due to heavy snowing.
