Avalanche forecast for Friday 2 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 northerly wind, the snow drift accumulations have increased in size during the last few days. This applies especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The avalanche prone locations are rather rare and are therefore clearly recognisable to the trained eye. The wind slabs of the last few days can be released easily above approximately 2200 m. Caution is to be exercised at their margins in particular. Mostly the avalanches are small. In isolated cases avalanches can be triggered in the weakly bonded old snow. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. In very isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. 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 Saturday 3 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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