Avalanche forecast for Wednesday 24 December 2025.

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

earlier in the day it applies low avalanche danger, so danger level one. later in the day it applies low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

later in the day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East.

As a consequence of new snow and a gusty wind from easterly directions, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form from the middle of the day in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. These can be released, even by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. Caution is to be exercised in particular on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above the tree line in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation. As a consequence of the wind the wind slabs will increase in size in the afternoon. In addition individual small loose snow avalanches are possible.

And now the snowpack:

In some regions 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. The wind will be strong at times in particular from the Koralpe West via the Packalpe to the Saualpe South. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on wind-protected northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. The old snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations.

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

The tendency for Thursday 25 December 2025 indicates an increasing avalanche danger.

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