Mr Harris’s body was discovered on 8 January.

The friends had not been heard from since 1 January and they did not check in for their flight home on 6 January.

Their last known location was near a mountain hut called Casina Dosson, close to the town of Tione Di Trento, near Riva Del Garda on Lake Garda.

Mr Ziriat’s body was found on Saturday in the Passo di Conca area by specialist search teams including a canine unit, Trentino Alpine and Speleological Rescue confirmed.

A spokesman said the rescuers “lowered themselves down the wall below the base of the slope, where the dog finally signalled the missing man’s body in a rocky crevice, where it had been covered by snow”.

The Palace for Life Foundation – the official charity of Crystal Palace Football Club where Mr Ziriat worked – said they were “deeply saddened” by the news.

In a statement the charity said: “Aziz was an incredible person with an infectious love for life. Throughout his time here Aziz formed close friendships throughout the local community.

“He was a compassionate, kind and generous individual who brought warmth and positivity to everybody met. He is deeply missed by all of us here at Palace.”
