Update of the avalanche forecast for Friday 9 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 North-West to North to East.

The mostly shallow wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases especially on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Mostly avalanches are only small. 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:

Some snow has fallen. The wind will be strong. Some snow will fall in the next few hours. The wind slabs are lying on unfavourable layers at elevated altitudes. The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. A little snow is lying in all altitude zones.

The tendency for Saturday 10 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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