A Danish hiker fell to his death Wednesday in the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps after slipping from a trail, rescue services said, just one day after four climbers were found dead on the iconic peak.

The climbers from Italy and South Korea were found on Tuesday after they went missing three days earlier during a period of bad weather on the peak.

French rescuers say they have found the bodies of two Italian and two South Korean climbers close to the peak of Mont Blanc on the French side
