Ten climbers are missing and eight have been injured after an avalanche on Mont Blanc.
They were among a group on the French side of the mountain who were hit by a huge wall of snow just after dawn this morning.
A search operation is underway, but it's being hampered by the risk of more avalanches.
Channel 4 News has learnt that other guides were avoiding that climb because of fears of avalanches.
