Avalanche forecast for Thursday 1 January 2026.

Wind slabs require caution.

all day it applies low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2000 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

As a consequence of the strong to storm force northerly wind, snow drift accumulations formed on Tuesday. The fresh and older wind slabs can be released in isolated cases in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m. This applies in particular adjacent to ridgelines, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The prevalence of such avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Mostly avalanches are only small. Even a small avalanche can sweep snow sport participants along and give rise to falls.

And now the snowpack:

The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on wind-protected shady slopes. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. In all regions a little snow is lying.

The tendency for Friday 2 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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