The hiker found the bodies near the Neige Cordier summit at an altitude of 8,850 feet.
"The victims were climbing roped together in two groups. It looks like there was a slide of snow and stones," the local mayor, Xavier Cret, said.
The climbers appear to have died while making an ascent in good weather on Saturday, according to police.
The group was apparently headed for a point at 11,857 feet in the Massif des Ecrins.
