On August 20, 2026, the bodies of two Belgian hikers who had been missing since 1992 were found in a melting Swiss glacier. Separately, crews recovered the remains of American climber Sarah Mallory Hayes, who died on Broad Peak. Both stories are reports of high-mountain recovery, not new trail closures or permit changes.
