Update of the avalanche forecast for Monday 12 January 2026.

The fresh wind slabs are mostly only small but prone to triggering.

all day it applies low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2200 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to South-East.

The fresh wind slabs can be released easily by a single winter sport participant especially on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 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:

The sometimes storm force wind will transport the snow. 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 Tuesday 13 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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