One person was rescued from the avalanche, which occurred on Sunday afternoon in the Lech/Zuers free skiing area, the Austrian Press Agency (APA) reports.
The avalanche occurred about 3pm local time and several helicopters and search teams were deployed soon afterwards.
“We are doing everything we can to rescue the winter sports enthusiasts,” APA quoted the municipality of Lech as saying.
Some 100 people were involved in the search, with rescuers requesting headlamps so they can continue the search in the dark, APA added.
