<p>The cause of the crash remained unclear as rescue crews worked to remove the bodies. The identities and nationalities of the victims have not been released.</p>
<p>The Rutor glacier covers nine square kilometres (3.5 square miles) and is the second-largest in the Val d’Aosta region, which borders France.</p>
<p>The region’s website says skiers frequently access it by helicopter during winter.</p>
