SAVOGNIN, Switzerland — Rescue officials say they have found two missing skiers after spotting the light from their MP3 music player.

The Swiss air rescue association Rega says it received a distress call from the French tourists late Friday, but the skiers’ phone battery went dead before they could be reached.

Rega spokesman Gery Baumann says the two men were found after midnight in steep, wooded terrain by a helicopter crew that spotted the light from their music player.

Baumann said Saturday that the men, both 22, had only mild hypothermia despite enduring temperatures as low as 5 degrees Fahrenheit.

The incident happened near Savognin in southeastern Switzerland.
