Yes indeed Dave there was that accident at Croix de Coeur (a mountain strip above Verbier) when the gear collapsed on landing. No question of glider towing then or this time. There are none based at La Côte. This was my club but I haven't yet any details from my friends. It has been announced that the deceased was the "chef de place" (like CFI) who, I know personally, was very experienced (ex Swiss Air Force and Swissair). Weather was beautiful with a light east wind. The crash site was in an open field some few hundred meters from, and in line with, the runway.
