The I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! winner is said to be "safe and well" after a number of people had to be rushed to hospital, according to reports.
Authorities said there were "no fatalities" after snow tumbled down a blue slope into the village of Val Claret.
The 29-year-old flew out of the UK with friends three days ago, but she is said to have not been affected by the avalanche.
A source told The Sun: "Vicky has been having a wonderful time skiing with her pals and luckily she’s OK."

Her rep also told the MailOnline: "Vicky is away skiing with friends in Tignes, she is safe and well and not affected by the Avalanche."
It comes as emergency services had difficulty in reaching the scene due to bad weather conditions, with high winds and low visibility.
About 30 people were initially believed to be trapped where 60cm of snow fell last night and 35cm yesterday.
