Mountain guides working in the French Alps say global warming is changing the landscape and closing well known routes up the slopes.
One guide, Sylviane Tavernier, told the Tribune de Genève, the mountains are changing as global warming is causing more rock falls.
She says the permafrost is melting and rocks are now blocking traditional routes.
But it’s hoped the changing the landscape will create new ways to climb.
