Storms and avalanche chaos in the Alps: First deaths in Austria - landslides hit houses in Italy. A 14-year-old girl was injured by an avalanche that occurred on Tuesday near Lake Misurina in the Belluno Alps in Italy, reports Ansa.

A group of two adults and five children are said to have been on their way to the summit when the avalanche broke off. The girl was buried under the snow for a few minutes before rescue workers were able to free her. The Easter trip of a group of ten people ended in a large-scale operation near Suardi in Lombardy.
