Little snow in winter and nice weather for weeks. The weather conditions can currently make climbing the Matterhorn dangerous.
Due to the high temperatures, the summit area of the Matterhorn is completely snow-free and therefore dangerous for mountaineers. Since the beginning of the week, the mountain guides in Zermatt have therefore strongly advised against climbing to the summit.
