Avalanche forecast for Wednesday 28 January 2026.

Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow are to be assessed with care and prudence.

all day it applies above 2200 meter moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below 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 fresh snow and 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 approximately 2200 m. Especially here avalanches can be triggered in the faceted old snow. This applies even in case of a small load. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are covered with new snow and are barely recognisable.

And now the snowpack:

Some snow will fall. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate southerly wind, further wind slabs will form. The fresh and older wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. They are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack. The old snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations.

The tendency for Thursday 29 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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