Avalanche forecast for Thursday 29 January 2026.

Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution.

all day it applies above 2200 meter considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three, 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 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 single winter sport participant. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. The avalanche prone locations are covered with new snow and are barely recognisable. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger.

And now the snowpack:

10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. They are poorly bonded with the old snowpack. The old snowpack is faceted and weak. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations.

The tendency for Friday 30 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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