Avalanche forecast for Tuesday 6 January 2026.

The wind slabs represent the main danger.

all day it applies above 1800 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 1800 meter, we have a wind slab problem. This in all aspects.

In all aspects precarious wind slabs formed. This applies especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The avalanche prone locations are rather rare and are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. The wind slabs can be released easily above approximately 1800 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 avalanche-prone wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack in particular on wind-protected shady slopes. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Over a wide area a little snow is lying.

The tendency for Wednesday 7 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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