Avalanche forecast for Thursday 15 January 2026.

Wind slabs are to be avoided.

all day it applies above 2000 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.

all day, above 2000 meter, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

The somewhat older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2000 m and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Such avalanche prone locations are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. 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 wind slabs have settled a little. They are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack. The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. Steep south facing slopes: As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year in all altitude zones.

The tendency for Friday 16 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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