CHAMONIX, France — An avalanche swept down a major summit in the Mont Blanc range before dawn Sunday, leaving eight climbers missing and presumed dead along a trail often used to reach western Europe’s highest peak.
The avalanche was set off about 3 a.m. by the fall of a massive block of ice on the Mont Blanc du Tacul at about 11,800 feet, the Haute-Savoie regional government office said.
