Update of the avalanche forecast for Monday 26 January 2026.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.

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

all day, above 2200 meter, we have a persistent weak layer 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 2200 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, as well as adjacent to ridgelines. Such avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow barely recognisable. Mostly the avalanches are small. 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.

And now the snowpack:

The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The mostly small wind slabs of the last few days are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. 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 Tuesday 27 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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