Avalanche forecast for Friday 2 January 2026.

Wind slabs require caution. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

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

all day, above 2200 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to East.

The no longer entirely fresh wind slabs can be released in isolated cases in particular on steep shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Caution is to be exercised adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Mostly avalanches are small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

And now the snowpack:

As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind from northwesterly directions, rather small wind slabs formed in the last few days. The wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Shady slopes above approximately 2600 m: Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. A little snow is lying in all altitude zones. Steep south facing slopes: Hardly any snow is lying.

The tendency for Saturday 3 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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