Avalanche forecast for Friday 30 January 2026.

A dangerous avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area. The danger exists in particular in alpine snow sports terrain.

all day it applies above the treeline high avalanche danger, so danger level four, below moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

all day, above the treeline, we have a persistent weak layer problem. This in all aspects. Furthermore, all day, below the treeline, we have a persistent weak layer problem. This in all aspects.

Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow very easily. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line, in isolated cases also on south facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. Avalanches can reach large size. Remotely triggered avalanches are probable. The avalanche prone locations are widespread and are barely recognisable. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Fresh avalanches and whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Great caution and restraint are required.

And now the snowpack:

In some regions up to 80 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Saturday. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. The old snowpack is faceted. This applies especially in shady places that are protected from the wind.

The tendency for Saturday 31 January 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

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