Walk 46, page 141: Please note that the high route option via Ober Sattla has been officially closed and is no longer feasible. There is a path from Taschalp to Ober Sattla, but only as far as the viewpoint and no further.

Readers planning to visit the Monte Rosa Hut above Zermatt are advised that the route described as Walk 50 in the current (4th edition, published 2014) Valais guide has changed dramatically due to climate change and is no longer valid. The current route involves a steep descent onto the Gorner glacier by way of near-vertical ladders, followed by a glacier hike crossing numerous widening crevasses. Glacier recession and the collapse of moraines will inevitably mean further changes in the coming months and years. Unless adequately equipped and experienced in glacier travel, the Zermatt website (www.zermatt.ch) recommends walkers to undertake this route only with a mountain guide.
