Update of the avalanche forecast for Friday 16 January 2026.

The snowpack is largely stable. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls.

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

In all regions in all altitude zones hardly any snow is lying. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Caution is to be exercised adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Mostly avalanches are only small. At elevated altitudes these avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and larger. 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 snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. The hard wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. The old snowpack is faceted. In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on wind-protected shady slopes.

The tendency for Saturday 17 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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