The body of the man was found in the Bielsa Valley in the northeastern Aragon region, the Civil Guard said.

Two men were
caught in the avalanche while snowshoeing, trapping one beneath the snow while the other escaped unharmed and was able to raise the alarm from a nearby mountain refuge.

The Civil Guard released a video showing officers with shovels, backed by rescue dogs, searching for the man swept up by the avalanche.

Earlier this week, an avalanche in the same area killed two men and a woman who were skiing. Another woman suffered mild hypothermia.
