This BBC piece explains how some Alpine peaks are now close to being closed due to the safety of climbers.
The Matterhorn is one of the famous peaks which is being considered as being close to closure as the rocks are becoming loosened due to a thawing of the water content within them.
I visited the Alps at the start of 2018, and saw the disappearance of the Mer de Glace written in the signs that are on the side of the steps as you descend to the level of the ice from Montenvers station.
