Police said on Sunday the victims were found on the Adler Glacier following aerial and ground searches. Three of the bodies were found some 500 metres from where the skis were located, Swiss broadcaster Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS) reported. Swiss officials have opened an investigation into the deaths of five skiers close to the village of Zermatt. (AP Photo/Jamey Keaten, File) (AP) Air Zermatt, the helicopter company that carried out the search flight, said that the three bodies were found on an avalanche cone. The two other bodies were found nearly 200 metres higher, on a small, snow-covered area, Air Zermatt added. Formal identification of the victims is still underway, and their nationalities have not yet been released. Authorities have opened an investigation into the circumstances of the accident. Weather conditions and avalanche activity in the region are being examined as part of the probe. switzerland

‘Simply irresistible': The secret to a perfect, crack-free chocolate Swiss roll
The chocolate Swiss roll's enduring appeal comes from its nostalgic combination of an airy, subtly sweet cake and a rich cream filling. Add the eye-catching spiral and easy, neat slicing, and it's simply irresistible. But a Swiss roll can be fiddly to make because the cake is notorious for cracking. This recipe will yield perfect, crack-free results every time. There are a few key tips and tricks to nailing the rolled cake. Start with a good recipe. This one hasn't failed me yet. It is essentially a chiffon cake, baked flat and then rolled. A chiffon cake combines the lightness of a traditional sponge cake with the richness of a butter cake. I find it more reliable than a sponge for a rolled cake because it has an almost bouncy, pliable texture, which is key. The second tip is not to overbake your cake. Follow the timing in the recipe exactly – an overbaked cake will be dry and brittle, resulting in cracks. Finally, roll your cake in a clean tea towel while it is still warm from the oven and let it cool completely before unfurling and filling it. Don't be tempted to unroll the cake while it's still warm.
