CHThe article discusses the increasing dangers faced by mountain huts in the Alps due to extreme heat and drought conditions. High temperatures and lack of snow have led to unstable rock formations, making climbing routes more hazardous. Martin Lehner, a guide at the Hörnlihütte, warns that inexperienced climbers pose a significant risk, especially on the Matterhorn. In mid-July, guides temporarily suspended climbs due to unsafe conditions. Climate change is accelerating glacier retreat and permafrost melting, leading to increased rockfall risks. Jan Beutel notes that large rockfalls are occurring more frequently, with over one million cubic meters of debris falling annually in the Alps. Meanwhile, water shortages are becoming critical, with huts like the Lischanahütte facing dwindling supplies. The seasonal spring melt is no longer reliable, and efforts to store snow have failed.
