A child from a local ski club suffered a leg fracture after a fall on the Rossinyol piste at El Tarter ski resort. The incident occurred on Tuesday shortly after 4pm.
Station staff provided initial assistance to the boy, who is under 10 years old. He was then transported by ambulance from the sanitary transport service to the hospital. Sources indicate the child was skiing alone at the time, though the reason remains unclear and few details have been released due to his age.
It is not known whether the monitors had allowed him to ski independently, or if he had slipped away from the group or his assigned supervisor. Parents from the ski club and people connected to the resort have voiced dissatisfaction with the monitors' oversight. Several accounts suggest the instructors failed to maintain adequate supervision, including leaving young children unattended on the slopes and showing insufficient concern for those under their care.
