The man was part of a foreign travel party of a total of seven people. The municipality has been notified, and the police are on their way to the scene, writes Troms police district on X, formerly Twitter.
The man was part of a group of foreign skiers, says operations manager Morten Augensen in the Troms police district Northern Lights.
