Avalanche forecast for Sunday 4 January 2026.

Wind slabs require caution.

all day it applies above 2600 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2600 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to East.

The fresh and older wind slabs can be released in some cases in particular on northwest to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2600 m. Caution is to be exercised adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In very isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. 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. Sunny slopes: In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.

And now the snowpack:

Some snow has fallen in particular in the north. As a consequence of a sometimes storm force wind from westerly directions, further wind slabs formed. The hard wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. A little snow is lying in all altitude zones. Steep south facing slopes: The snowpack is well consolidated and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases.

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

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