Avalanche forecast for Sunday 7 December 2025.

Weakly bonded old snow represents the main danger.

all day it applies above 2400 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2400 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, above 2400 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases by individual winter sport participants. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. As the snowfall level rises the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent in the afternoon. This applies in particular below approximately 2500 m. Avalanches can reach medium size. In addition the fresh wind slabs in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls as well as at high altitudes are prone to triggering. Avalanches are small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

And now the snowpack:

Some snow will fall in the afternoon in some regions. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack. This applies especially on west, north and east facing slopes at elevated altitudes, in particular in shady places that are protected from the wind. As a consequence of a moderate wind from westerly directions, mostly small wind slabs will form at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The wind slabs are lying on soft layers on shady slopes. They are lying on surface hoar in some places.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.1: deep persistent weak layer, dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind.

The tendency for Monday 8 December 2025 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.

Have a nice day and don't forget to be careful!
