The summer of 2026 has seen an unprecedented number of rockfalls in the Alps, with 450 incidents reported in the Mont Blanc massif alone. Geomorphologist Ludovic Ravanel attributes this alarming trend to climate change, highlighting the destabilization of rock faces due to rising temperatures and glacier retreat. While no restrictions on mountain access are currently in place, experts advise mountaineers to exercise caution as rockfalls are expected to continue.
