Avalanche forecast for Wednesday 14 January 2026.

The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs represent the main danger.

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 wind slab problem. This in all aspects.

The fresh and older wind slabs can be released easily. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects above the tree line, in isolated cases also in areas close to the tree line. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, as well as adjacent to ridgelines. Such avalanche prone locations are easy to recognise. In the regions neighbouring those that are subject to danger level 3 (considerable) such avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and larger. In some cases the avalanches in these loacations are medium-sized. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. Shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger.

And now the snowpack:

Fresh and older wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. The old snowpack is faceted. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations.

The tendency for Thursday 15 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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