At least three people, including two teenagers have reportedly been killed after a plane crash landed at a summer camp in Switzerland.

The incident happened in the mountainous canton of Granbunden in the east of the country.

Those killed included two 14-year-olds at the camp and the adult pilot of the plane.

A third teenager is believed to have been seriously injured.

All three are believed to been in the small single-engine plane, identified as a Piper PA28, as a ride organised by a local flying club, area police spokesman Roman Ruegg reported.

He said a group of tourists who had taken a gondola ride to explore the regions peaks and witnessed the plane plummeting to the ground.

An investigation into the accident has begun.

A police spokesman told Agence France Presse that the pilot was experienced and had taken up other teenagers in the plane earlier in the day.

A spokesman for the flying club, Aero Club, Yves Burkhardt told reporters his "world has collapsed".

Mr Burkhardt said the plane rides were supposed to cap off a week of activity at the youth summer camp which the club had been operating for 35 years.
