Avalanche forecast for Monday 26 January 2026.

Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution.

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 persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.

The fresh snow and in particular the wind slabs formed during the snowfall are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. Especially here avalanches can be triggered in the faceted old snow. This applies even in case of a single winter sport participant. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls. The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow. As a consequence of solar radiation loose snow avalanches are possible in the afternoon.

And now the snowpack:

5 to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Saturday above approximately 1500 m. Some snow will fall in the next few hours. As a consequence of a gusty wind from southerly directions, soft wind slabs formed. These are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack above the tree line. The old snowpack is faceted and weak. This applies especially in shady places that are protected from the wind. The old snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations.

The tendency for Tuesday 27 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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