Two French mountain climbers have died in an accident in the Mont Blanc range, authorities confirmed on Saturday.

The victims are a 25-year-old woman and a 60-year-old man who had been missing since Friday, radio station France Bleu reported.

The Chamonix-based mountain rescue unit PGHM discovered the bodies at the foot of a ridge on the Aiguille de Bionnassay, a technically demanding area of the Mont Blanc massif.

The exact circumstances of the accident remain unclear. An investigation has been launched.

The Mont Blanc is a popular, but risky, destination for experienced mountaineers – particularly on high alpine routes such as the Aiguille de Bionnassay.
