An avalanche near a mountain resort in the Spanish Pyrenees has killed a snowshoer, police have said, days after another avalanche in the area killed three skiers.
The body of the man was found in the Bielsa Valley in the northeastern Aragon region, the Civil Guard said.
Two men werecaught in the avalanche while snowshoeing, trapping one beneath the snow while the other escaped unharmed and was able to raise the alarm from a nearby mountain refuge.
The Civil Guard released a video showing officers with shovels, backed by rescue dogs, searching for the man swept up by the avalanche.
Earlier this week, an avalanche in the same area killed two men and a woman who were skiing. Another woman suffered mild hypothermia.
