Hi jlovda,
Yes we just heard about it here the other day. Maggie, another member posted it here as well.
It isn’t too close to Zermatt itself I understand but I don’t believe there is any cost….
Cheers!

>> Is it in the middle of nowhere for hikers only or can it be reached easily from Randa?
Apparently it’s around 2.5 hours walk from Randa, or 6-7 hours walking time from Grächen and Zermatt. The route is described as a demanding mountain hike.
Details in German are here:

There’s also a video here. The rockfall visible on the other side of the valley in the opening shot looks like it could be the Randa rockfall from 1991.
