Nine people died in three days during which more than 100 avalanches struck Austria, authorities said Sunday.
Most of the avalanches hit the western Tyrol region and Friday alone saw five fatalities, rescue services said.
Police said that one incident had claimed the lives of a group of Swedish skiers going off-piste with a mountain guide in the zone around Ischgl, near the Swiss border.
The guide and four of the group were swept away with just one member surviving. He managed to call for help and was airlifted out by helicopter.
