A dozen people buried by an avalanche in Austria, in the western region of Vorarlberg.
The police made it known.
"One person has been rescued while operations are continuing to find the others," said a spokesman without providing details on their fate.
The avalanche occurred around 3 pm at an altitude of 2,700 meters in the Lech Zurz ski area.
Authorities had warned of a high avalanche risk in the area over the weekend.
About two hundred people are participating in the search for the missing, with the help of helicopters and dogs.
In recent years, avalanches in Austria have killed an average of around 20 people a year.
