Rome [Italy], November 3: The two bodies still missing after five German mountaineers died in an avalanche in the South Tyrol region in north-eastern Italy have been recovered, the Italian mountain rescue service reported on Sunday.
The bodies are those of a father and his daughter. Three bodies were recovered on Saturday, when the group was caught by the avalanche while ascending in the Ortler Alps. The mountain is a popular peak due to its panoramic views in all directions.
The avalanche came down in the afternoon as the alpinists were ascending the over 3,500-metre-high Vertainspitze.
