The search for a fourth person, declared as missing, had to be halted due to the ongoing avalanche risk.
The group came from southern Germany and were reported missing by one of their wives on Saturday night.
In France, two employees at the Morillon ski resort died when the avalanche-control charges they were trying to set accidentally went off.
The accident took place at an altitude of 1,800m (6,000ft) as the two men were preparing the pistes ahead of their opening with an avalanche prevention programme, mountain rescuers said.
