Hikers walk on the Geant Glacier, towards the Aiguilles Marbrees in the Mont Blanc Massif, at the Italian-French border, in 2021. Hiking and climbing is facing more restrictions than ever due to falling rocks and risk of landslides.

A hiker holds a fixed rope near the Boccalatte Hut, close to the Planpincieux Glacier in Courmayeur, Italy, in August 2021. The glacier, at 8,860 feet, is melting from climate change-driven high temperatures, risking collapse onto the hamlet of Planpincieux below.
