Avalanche forecast for Monday 12 January 2026.

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

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

all day, above the treeline, we have a persistent weak layer problem. This in all aspects.

Distinct weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can be released very easily. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects above the tree line. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines, as well as in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger.

And now the snowpack:

10 to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last two days. The wind will be strong at times. Over a wide area new snow and wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. The old snowpack is faceted.

The tendency for Tuesday 13 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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