Avalanche forecast for Sunday 18 January 2026.

Outside marked and open pistes a precarious avalanche situation will prevail.

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

all day, above 2000 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. This in all aspects.

Avalanches can over a wide area be released easily. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects above approximately 2000 m. The avalanche prone locations are numerous. These places are covered with new snow and are therefore barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Mostly the avalanches are medium-sized. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, as well as on wind-loaded slopes. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. Experience and restraint are important.

And now the snowpack:

The old snowpack is faceted. Over a wide area new snow and wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. The various wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.5: snowfall after a long period of cold, dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind.

The tendency for Monday 19 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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