Avalanche forecast for Sunday 4 January 2026.

Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.

all day it applies above 2000 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below 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 new snow and a strong wind from westerly directions, avalanche prone wind slabs formed since Friday. Avalanches can in some cases be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. These places are easy to recognise.

And now the snowpack:

10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the past few hours. As a consequence of a sometimes storm force wind from westerly directions, brittle wind slabs formed. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. The old snowpack is faceted and weak.

The tendency for Monday 5 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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