Avalanche forecast for Thursday 8 January 2026.

Wind slabs are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls.

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. Especially in the aspects North-West to North to North-East.

The mostly shallow wind slabs are prone to triggering in particular on northwest to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 1800 m. Avalanches can be released, even by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Along the border with Slovenia the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. 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:

In particular along the border with Slovenia 5 to 15 cm of snow has fallen since Tuesday. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on unfavourable layers on shady slopes above approximately 1800 m. A little snow is lying in all altitude zones.

The tendency for Friday 9 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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