Two women froze to death in the Alps at an altitude of more than four thousand meters in the Valle d’Aosta, in northwestern Italy, DW reports.

Another man was taken to a Swiss hospital with frostbite and hypothermia.

Three hikers climbed the Monte Rosa mountain range on the border of Italy and Switzerland. Rescuers reported their disappearance. Eventually, emergency services found them on the Italian side of Pyramids Vincent and took them to a mountain hut.

Extreme weather conditions made the rescue operation very difficult. The helicopter was able to land only at night. Rescuers tried to save the women, but they failed.
